[QUOTE="rocket2222, post: 688656, member: 5362"] George, I've been culling what I consider hard doers, [ cows that will not hold their weight while raising a calf in my conditions and with my type of management for 15 years ] this year I hauled a two year old and her calf to the sale barn for just that reason. I think I've reached the point now though where the easier doing cows and my management of winter feeding is costing me some milk production, as I've seen some drop in weaning weights in the fall born calves over the last couple of years. It's something I will need to manage a little different in the future, either with cow type or better [ more expensive ] hay. [/QUOTE]
