[QUOTE="BEEEEF, post: 34607, member: 481"] Glad I ran across this web site and yawl cattlemen and cattlewomen. I had a PH cow back in the mid 80's and 90's who consistantly weaned a 205 day calf at 650 to 700 pounds or 65 to 70 % of body weight. I strive for 60% and that is hard to do in an all forage system, no hay only mineral. When in the pasture everybody would pick her calf and want the dam until they saw her and then most everybody said she was to small except Paul Bennett. I like a 1150-1200 pound cow but I cannot make my angus , gelbvieh or balancer cattle equal what that old PH cow did until I took a seminar from Dr. Dick Diven and he explained about the equanox and why cattle in the north and south differ, made sense I tried it and it worked. I am going back more and more to true red and black bally's not because I don't like those other breeds. In my situation it makes me dollars and I had tried some popular breeds that looked good that cost me money because I didn't go to the feed store and buy a bucket or creep feeder. Oh, I use goats for chemical since late 70's and sell for BBQ too. Just a conservative old eccentric cattleman who's favorite has always been green grass and the cattle color didn't really matter as long as they made money and weaned one every 365 days and not every cow in any breed in any enviroment will do that so keep what does red or black maybe even a grey or white if you don't have to pull a calf and she beeds back and weans 50 to 60% of her body weight. If you do not like her color and she does that plesae cull her my way, age not a factor young or old. Better check my whole beef brisket it is sure smelling good too!!!
