[QUOTE="novatech, post: 490318, member: 5494"] It has been shown that faster growing cattle are more efficient in the feed lot. More moderate size cattle are more efficient in the pasture. Then you come to the quality. Not only marbling and tenderness but carcass dressing percentage, and backfat. It is a balancing act as to what you can raise economically combined with what the market is paying most for in your market. As far as efficiency as to frame size or weight I will only say this; My wife can eat a salad and gain 5 lbs.. I can eat a steak, bake potato, apple pie with ice cream, and top it off with a candy bar and not gain a pound. [/QUOTE]
