[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1742763, member: 498"] I had 3 years in a row where my steers averaged over 700. But that was on the Washington coast. Good grass and rotational grazing. I was using Simm-Angus bulls. The bulls were cheaper than bulls from a registered breeder. But the people I got them from retained ownership on their calves for years. They are absolutely ruthless cow cullers. Their records shows the bulls weaned over 700. I have never creep fed and those people I bought bulls from didn't either. Over here in the desert we are happy with 550. But the difference is the environment they live in. Semi arid, steep, rocky ground, with miles between water in places. My neighbor who has a great cow herd sells steers on Superior with a base weight of 575 for 2 semi loads of calves. [/QUOTE]
