[QUOTE="Louthelivestockguy, post: 1724738, member: 23094"] Yes on paper this works. My life experiences have been that Charolais bulls throw to big bones of calves and their off colors get docked for feeder cattle. If you grow 10 calves out of 10 cows and they average 50 pounds less at weaning, you still got same amount of beef that 11 cows with 50 pounds heavier calves would get if you lost one calf at birth. For cow calf operators, our biggest challenge has been and always will be having live calves that thrive and don’t die. Even in the crappier times of the year with cold, rain, drought, or flies!! Growth is what most cattle people want, but it usually comes at a price of death at birth or lack of vigor when born from my experiences! [/QUOTE]
