[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 788052, member: 7509"] I have used the standard calf 205 day adjusted weaning weight to cow weight at weaning to determine that ratio. I would also think 40% is on the low end of acceptable. I am looking for 50%+ as my target. This is almost impossible with larger cows. With a 1500 lb cow 40% would be 600 lb calf weight and that is very attainable. No need to apologize for bring the thread up. Many folks have been focused on harvesting during this stretch of dry weather in the cornbelt. I think you should be able to reach at least 40% in Iowa on grass alone with no creep. Jim [/QUOTE]
