[QUOTE="HerefordSire, post: 670357, member: 4437"] [i]I think calving ease is overcompensated for by ranchers holding outside employment. In my view, the higher the unassisted calf size the better in regards to optimization. We can be conservative in our decisions by never having a calving issue, or we can find the limits and then backup to optimize long term cash flow.
