[QUOTE="Dave, post: 39653, member: 498"] Yes Dun, that is exactly one of the difference I was refering to. You have high endophyte fescue. My fescue doesn't know what endophyte is. In my climate I can get away with a higher milk production cow and thus a higher weaning weight but I have to feed a lot more in the winter. It is a trade off. The expected weaning weight will change with the genetics you are dealing with and the environment you raise your cattle in. The best example I could think of on this is a rangeland cattle operation and one practicing IMG on irrigated pasture. There are places out west where you could be literally be neighbors but your weaning weights will be dramatically different because of the different environments. Dave [/QUOTE]
