[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1501073, member: 1715"] There is a lot of variation within the breeds and within the forage availability, but over black commercial cows, I would rank simangus and Hereford as equivalent, and straight simi 20 to 30 pounds higher, for weaning weight. This is based on limited personal MIG data, not second hand guesses. The other factor is the percentage of live calves you wean... Simis have a higher management requirement than Herefords. [/QUOTE]
