[QUOTE="Lee VanRoss, post: 1664241, member: 40072"] I will probably get shot out of the saddle for this but milk is way down on my list of priorities. I don't calve until the 2nd week of April so in .my eyes milk is only necessary for 90 days or so. If the genetics are present there will be very little difference in calf weight at a year. To the contrary a high milking mother will require much more maintenance to be assured of breeding back in a 12 month cycle. Calves that take to grass earlier tend to be better foragers and go through weaning with less stress when I wean in October. [I]The 90 days was just a reference point.[/I] Other than the Cherokee south of Denver I don't remember seeing a Santa G since I sold those calves. Time is running against me now so the inquiry may be more academic than practical although it would be good to swing at a fast ball again. I have to say I liked the looks of the calves in CB's reply better than the Charlois/ Red Angus cross I have seen in the past year or so. Thanks until you are better paid. .LVR [/QUOTE]
