Are the 1150-1200 pound cows reality or myth ?

[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 956838, member: 1715"] The extra efficieny guys brag about 900 pound cows, not 1200 pounders. There are some lines that run this small. I bought some wooly running age herfs that averaged 935#. Smallest one is an old gummy girl at about 850#, she calves early every year but weans a 450# calf that matches up with late calvers, and I am good with that. Industry issue with cattle like this is what weight will they finish at in the feedlot? The 1000 to 1200# cows seem more reasonable. Neighbor bought some low line BA cross cows and they averaged 1100#. Look better in the pasture than gummy herfs. Issue I have is medium (1400) to large (1800) cows that wean 500 to 600# calves. They look even better than the low line Xs in the pasture but they look the best on a n auction barn scale. :banana: [/QUOTE]
