[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 34659, member: 245"] I totally agree. I just think it would be tough for a little 1200 lb cow to raise a calf to 700 lbs, maintain herself well enough to get bred and keep from losing that calf over our cold winters. My cattle winter in the bush. That thick hair coat, and that black color help them a bit with the cold but they have to be in really good shape going into the winter. All the calves are born in April-May and all get weaned at the end of November. So they can't get dragged down too much during the summer. I had one little cow that raised a 540 lb calf. At the end of the summer she was 880 lbs. But she was pretty thin and way too crazy to stay on my farm. [/QUOTE]
