[QUOTE="Dylan Biggs, post: 808804, member: 14282"] I agree with SRBeef, that its value is primarily as an in herd comparison. The actual % may not necessarily tell a person that much. For those that use it, do you use actual weaning weights or adjusted? For me we calved from 10th of May to the 4th of July and this year we weaned the 4th of November so our actual weaning weights were on an average age of around 150 days. Hard to get 50% for a herd average at that age. So just looking at percentage with out knowing age of the calf may not be that valuable. [/QUOTE]
