NEMO | Swede, did you read Bean's post above? A lot of these modern Angus are still growing at 3 and beyond. Let's see, picking the wrong kind of bulls to keep heifers out of, no crossbreeding, coupled with any environmental stress (drought, heat, flies)((Anaplasmosis in MO, do you have that in the Dakota's?)), and then you have problems. I will say this, I bet you're doing better than a lot of folks with a 20 percent fall out in the first 2 years. Acceptable? Not really, but not a total train wreck for some. And yes, those young fallout cows end up in MO, many as fall calvers. I have a neighbor that buys western origin young cows as stage 2's, never keeps a heifer. You can about always tell, lots of different brands, and that typical wild eyed Angus, I'm gonna kick you on the way past for fun. But, they're Western origin, so the must be better than what us dumb MO boys can raise
