It's not meant to be an either/or question...what is more important in your management practices?Liveoak said:RobertMac said:What is more important to the commercial cattleman...increased percentage of weaned calves or increased weaning weights?
Why can't you have both? If the operation is "commercial" does weaning really matter?
PC, one other thing I see important in replacement selection...look for cow/cow families that are putting working cows back into the herd.
This is something we hear from academia and the 'purebred industry...Isn't there a limit how much better/bigger our cattle can be, particularly if cost is considered?PC said:THey do not get bigger and bigger year after year.
(Not directed at you, PC...just asking.)
