[QUOTE="Bamadan, post: 1531452, member: 25928"] I certainly don't have all the answers, like you, I try to learn from people that have been doing this a lot longer than me. I got to know a former ranch manager from Oklahoma, now lives here. On weaning age, they weaned at 205 days and weighed the calf. At 205 days he wanted the calf to weigh 50% of mother's weight. If a cow's calves consistently failed to hit that mark, they culled the cow I have Angus and some Charolais (which i inherited) some of the Charolais weigh 15-1600 lbs+. They raise good big calves, but they eat a LOT! I've find out I can get a 1100 lb cow that will raise just as good a calf. Those big girls are not just eating a lot of feed, they are eating up a lot of profit. [/QUOTE]
