600 lb. steer BSC #4

[cattlepower]

If their BSC is # 4 Would this be considered a steer that has a good BSC for 600lb.

and the fact that the steer weighs 600# doesn't tell us anything without a breed and age. BCS 4 is TOO THIN - POOR.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that BCS doesn't take into account weight, age, breed or sex. In other words a 4 is a 4 no matter what.

Let's translate this and see if we can make something out of your question. I take it someone offered you at least a couple of steers that weigh about 600lbs. When you bit they told you they frame scored around 4 wich is a pretty safe bet for a seller.......you didn't have a clue what that meant but it sounded good. A 4 score ain't too bad with the weather here in Texas. A BSC don't have anything to do with age so your question without that information and some other inputs is pretty hard to answer......

BCS of 4 is a 4 no matter what age, weight, etc. But, I did miss the fact that this OP typed BSC???
