[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1551780, member: 27490"] This region of Kentucky (perhaps more broadly in Kentucky) supports some heavy, large framed Angus cattle in comparison to what seems to be the preferred Angus cow represented on this Forum. I often get comments on my Simmental cattle that they are over conditioned and "large", however, the Angus cattle I see in pastures are often larger and as well conditioned as mine. There was a User on here that went by HughesFamilyFarms, he posted about an Angus producer in the Paris, Kentucky area who had Angus cows that were on average about 2000 pounds. He offered to take TT and I on a visit to the farm. Branded, your Angus cattle are large - better than moderate frame and certainly well conditioned. My cattle are Simmental. From your pictures, your Angus are bigger than my Simmentals. Question: Do you find the market here in Kentucky favors a bigger cow? In my opinion it does. At least bigger than the impression I get from reading this forum. My dad and brother raised beef cattle in Pendleton County for over 50 years. I bought the last four of their cows in 2009. When I sold those 4 cows they averaged 1900 pounds each. My dad and brother thought a beef cow should be as big as you could find. I have significantly downsized my cows compared to theirs. If I were to guess, I would say my cows average about 1450 pounds with a range from about 1200 to 1700. [/QUOTE]
