[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 513037, member: 968"] Doc, I won't get into a battle with you (don't have the time or energy) but, I disagree. You cannot make a blanket statement about the weight of the national cow herd. Mature size relating to PROFIT, depends on the LOCATION. It is not PROFITABLE in my area to run small cows. Mature size of 1400-1600 is much more in line with forage quality & profit - for us and others. I am a PROFIT oriented operation. That means my low end calves (steers) also must be profitable for me AND my buyer. We have been selling steers to 1 buyer private treated, sight unseen, over our scales, for many years. This indicate they must be making him $$$$. Weight of cows is a strong indication of weight of offspring, and yes, we do sell POUNDS - bottom line. POUNDS for weaned calves & POUNDS for salvage value of cull cows. Cull cows are an important part of yearly income in any operation. [/QUOTE]
