[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1778349, member: 24027"] Like [USER=24816]@Ky hills[/USER] mentioned, do not underestimate the cow. You can buy the best bull you can afford but if you put him on a sub-par cow, don't expect better than average results. As an example of weights, this year my biggest group of steers averaged 716 lbs. when they sold 12/7 after being weaned 60 days and fully backgrounded. The majority of them were born in March/April and weaned 10/9. My largest group of heifers averaged 649 lbs. (and guaranteed open). Not as good as previous years but not bad, considering we were in an epic drought with hardly any grass. We started putting out bales in September (generally not until mid-end of November) and they were supplemented with a small amount of 20% cubes (or range nuggets). You can do this! I feel like you really have the drive and want to succeed and you're moving in the right direction. [/QUOTE]
