[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 1176720, member: 9115"] Walnutcrest, no that is probably too much, but the weights may surprise you. Be an interesting experiment sometime. Haul them 40 miles and I would think 10% isn't out of line. BC, how can post weaning weights not show the ability of the cow? Milk grass etc., is feed. A lot of people creep feed a while before weaning. Do you think, I think I have heard it called compsenatry gain (?), works the same in the calf ability to convert feed? I don't really know if that works that way, cuz' then all calves would end up weighing the same. I can see where it's showing the ability of the cow to milk, but if the cow is not milking, the calf isn't gonna' gain to make up the difference when it's weaned. Dun, them is good calves. I don't fenceline wean, and have never weighed mine in that timeframe to see what they did. Don't think any way is wrong, just wondering if maybe I oughta' be doin' something different. Thanks for the replies. gs [/QUOTE]
