[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1724879, member: 39695"] I can't remember the last time I pulled a calf out of a cow. Our 1,400lb avg F1 char/ang cows routinely have 90+ lb calves. But you have to breed for it. I very rarely save heifers out of low birth wt bulls. In our operation every calf out of a hfr needs to end up in the feed lot. The packing plant we sell to has 3,800 hd shackle space a day. The number two hide color of all cattle killed there is smoke ( Charolais influence). We feed out cattle on slats. Simmental's have to much bone to be able to stand on slats very long, their joints give out. But the Charolais do just fine. The F1 chars usually finish 150 lbs heavier than the straight bred blks. That adds up when your selling live. [/QUOTE]
