[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 851610, member: 1683"] Valerie- I have no intention of engaging in a war of rhetorical words with you over a subject that we both understand very well! (Or at least you [b][i]should[/i][/b] understand it with the operation that you have). EXPLANATION: [b][i]SMALLER cows are more PROFITABLE than big cows! [/i][/b] BIG bulls produce BIG cows. BIG cows cost more to feed and pasture. BIG cows produce BIG calves, causing large calf production costs. BIG cows, 1400 lbs +, cost relatively MORE to feed than 1150 lb cows (Particularly now with feed costs, and pasture expenses, and everything else necessary for optimal management and proper protocols being considered) - and you certainly DO have to consider all factors for anticipating profit. If you have a cow herd of LARGE cows and breed them to LARGE bulls you will have LARGE production costs. But you won't have (relatively speaking) LARGE profits. But it is your option to manage your operation in any way that you wish. 'Nuff said! DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
