Are the 1150-1200 pound cows reality or myth ?

[QUOTE="AllForage, post: 956832, member: 14878"] It gets down to frame score mostly even though my frame 4's can weigh as much as 1250 or a little more depending on the season. The "efficiency" is based on percent of cow's weight weaned, 1000 pound cow weaning 450 = 45% or 1800 cow weaning 700 = 38%. Then some say you can run more cows per acre based on a feed consumption basis. If that is true is seems the smaller cows win out. A lot more benefits can go into the equation. Some are hard to quantify. If by "good" you mean 700 pound weaning and killing at 16-18 months then you will not be happy. Mine are more moderate and I kill at 24 and get great marbling. [/QUOTE]
