[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1742805, member: 24565"] Weaning weights are an easy target and sales pitch. The key to profit is what weight do the buyers want. You might make less to wean 6 weight calves than 5 weights if you need to feed more or have fewer cows to produce them. Sure, bottom end cows are needed to be culled. Market them well, too. They are part of your income stream. But the key is cow fertilty: 10X the value of production traits, they say. Whomever "they" are! :unsure: [/QUOTE]
