[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1714799, member: 6291"] There are more assumptions. The lighter calves could be younger, could have been sick, could have come from smaller cows who ate less, etc. That post had no where near enough info to start making assumptions. Does he do a 60, 90, 120 day calving season? How do you know a couple of those cows just didn't slip through the cracks or a bull was down and out for a week? Why is it assumed it was the cows fault the bred late? How many cows per bull does he run? There is a lot of arm chair quaterbacking going on here from very limited info. Maybe the question should be asked was it smart to sell the smaller calves at the same time? Did it really pay more to sell as a group when you leave money on the table with small calves? 😂 [/QUOTE]
