[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1839102, member: 42463"] I think buyers want "fleshy" calves... but not milk fat calves. They want animals that will be prone to putting on a fat cover over meat. And I think they see milk fat as something that a calf loses after being weaned... but I'm not sure that is entirely accurate. I suspect any milk fat goes into growth rather than weight loss. Maybe some, but certainly not all of it. But they buy what they buy and a producer has to try to satisfy them. [/QUOTE]
