With many of our beef grow ers thinking about the price of weaner calves and a good market for them this fall, an article came to me a few days ago which I will pass along. While this story came out of Oklahoma there were questions of this exact nature asked last fall In Morrow county. It is a queition that many more will be asking as they upgrade their cow herd, selecting the mothers that turn ed off heavy calves when mated to a particular sire. I don't know if tha story answers the question but it Is interesting. A story out of Oklahoma has It that cows down there differ In their Ideas regarding the weight of calves they should Junction, 1.20 Inches.
