[QUOTE="dun, post: 721853, member: 34"] Since the cow had averaged 89 pound calves for 8 previous calves I don;t begrudge her the pull of the 104 pound calve. Our calves usually run 75-85 pounds, this is the first calf we've had to pull in 7-8 years. What I;ve found is that those 90-100 pound calves don;t wean heavier by the difference of the BW over the 50-60 pound calves. There also up and nursing within a couple of minutes. The pull was up in less then 5 minutes and nursing in 10. I would like to be able to see what the difference in BW and WW weights would be if we weren;t on the toxic KY31. But there really isn;t anyway for me to do a test of all else being the same except the forage. I guess I'll just stick with my backward way of doing things, live with the KY31 and not have to feed hay till february/march. [/QUOTE]
