Congratulations TC, You were right on the money. You know all my thirty plus years of producing beef I have been taught to increase my weaning weights which increases my input cost. Then we were told to decrease our input cost which is counter active to overall goal of producing the most pounds of beef from each cow. The heaver calf brings less per pound than the smaller calf and you can get more light weight calves in a pot load which will produce more beef for less input costs. Therefore, as you pointed out, the lighter calves will provide more profit per pot load.
I realize one must have enough calves of the same gender to make a truck load, but producers can form an alliance with their friends and neighbors to make up the difference if they can agree on the type, color, breed and calving time. It seems to me that is the way to go. You can sell your calves direct to the backgrounder or feedlot and cut out the sale barn and other calf jockies. That way the producer alliance makes the money.
Just though I would toss the idea out in the form of a question to see what ya'll though. I didn't mean to confuse anyone. Thank you for your interest and response.
