[QUOTE="Muletrack, post: 1797275, member: 30827"] I am intrigued by Greg Judy’s discussion of cow size and how it may relate to lbs. of weaned calf per acre vs. lbs. weaned per cow. Kit Pharo has the same idea — most of the time a pot load of 500 lb calves should bring more $ than a pot load of heavier calves, especially if the smaller ones have a third more head count. My best value seems to be in the number of live calves weaned, not weaning weight. Local feeder here says it is taking a lot longer to finish those big framed steers. That’s costly. And bigger cows just don’t seem to last long for me. Not thinking I’d want GJ’s 1,000 lb cows though. But then again, I have not tried it. [/QUOTE]
