[QUOTE="Lee VanRoss, post: 1700222, member: 40072"] It is hard to argue with [I]Pharo Philosophy [/I]which your words reflect. I would add fertility to the mix for a calf on schedule is potentially more valuable to the operation than a larger calf born in the 3rd month and later of the calving schedule. I have said before on these pages I do not keep any replacements not born in the 1st 30 days. The mothers must have a calf in the 1st 30 days every year to even consider using their calf in the herd. I may keep the mother if she calves in the 2nd 30 days but I will never keep another calf from her for replacement. Let me say also you cannot starve fertility into a cow so body condition is critical especially in 1st calf heifers. Many times I have seen outstanding 1st calf heifers fail to breed back in a timely manner due to being out of condition. Main thing is to tailor your operation to work within the parameters set by and for yourself and weigh carefully what you read and hear, including this, [B] LVR[/B] [/QUOTE]
