[QUOTE="dun, post: 938847, member: 34"] They run around 575 from heifers up to 650 from cows. We pull all the calves off the cows and fenceline wean them. We background them for 45 days then ship the steers and non-replacement quality heifers. After the 45 days they are turned back with the cows and spend the rest of their lives there. Our backgrounding consists of stockpiled fescue if we have any pasture or fescue hay. They also get about 1% of their weight in 13% weaning ration. Any bulls we keep throws a kink in the works. If we have retained any bulls they go in with the bred cows after the 45 days and the heifers are pastured in a different pasture. A couple of weeks before calving starts we pull the bull/s and put them up separate from the females and the heifers get turned in with the cows. [/QUOTE]
