I have a question about weaning weights and cow size. Say a smaller frame cow in the 900 lb range weans a calf a slightly over half her weight(470lb) vs a 1300 lb cow weans a calf well under her weight (580lb). In todays market ,which is more profitable? Will the heavier cow eat the added weight up in the run of a year? If you were culling base only on weaning weight with no other issues were involved, which would be the logical choice to cull? Is there a simple equation to figure the profitability? Looking forward to thoughts.
