[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 618519, member: 122"] Something else that I think needs to be considered is cull price. It seems that packers prefer a little bigger cow than light ones. For instance if a 1400 lb. cow brings 50 cents and a 1000 lb cow brings 45 cents, that's a $250 dollar difference. If you keep your cows for an average of 7-8 years the large cow doesn't have to be quite as efficient as the smaller cow to turn the same profit over her lifetime. [/QUOTE]
