[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 173871, member: 1604"] Your question prompted me to do an analysis on the birthweights of my calves. Since I started on the "Whole Herd Rewards" program in 1999, my calves birthweights have averaged 6.28% of the cows' weights. The only thing that I can think of that would skew the data is when the cows are weighed. The program I am enrolled in requires that cows be weighed at weaning and is the only time they are weighed all year. For instance, if I weighed them shortly before calving (which is what you are referring to I'm sure) the % would probably be down around 5%. Just a guess. [/QUOTE]
