[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 689959, member: 7509"] That's interesting and about the same ball park mine are in. Came out very close. This is one place where a scale and Cattlemax are very valuable. In SW WI we have been very fortunate this year with the weather - almost the exact opposite from C TX. I hate to even post a picture after seeing how dry it is in TX. I do want to show one of a 410 lb 120 day old heifer calf with her 1200 lb dam from the other day: [img]http://www.ranchers.net/photopost/data/500/IMG_1267_1200lb_cow_w_410lb_120_day_heifer_calf.JPG[/img] So far so good on cow condition but I feel 205 days was too long last year which was much drier in August. What about weaning at about 150 days? They will not be going on feed, just the same grass you see but separate pasture. It is a pain in the neck to now have two groups but if it is worth it for the cows I can do it. If not it would be easier to leave them together to maybe 180-190 days. Thanks for the responses.
