[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 490832, member: 1683"] Dusty and BRG- It is difficult to refute facts and figures, and I won't attempt to argue these results. Dusty, you have an EXCELLENT argument with your post, and your Charolais is very worthy. I am not proposing small framed cattle. FAR from it. I think that 6.5 - 7+ is getting dangerously close to being TOO big - for portending the FUTURE - a warning of too much of a good thing is asking for trouble. IF a breeder can selelct his Phenotype and EPD's intelligently, (as obviously you have done and are doing) and can keep his growth traits under control, THAT is the mark of a Master breeder! BRG - Your figures also fly in the face of any disputation in opposition to the totals presented - on ONE given day, at ONE given location. I still feel that over the long haul, generally speaking over the years, MODERATE framed cattle ( 5.5-6.0 +/-) will come out ahead in the PROFIT box, EVERYTHING else considered. The "EVERYTHING ELSE" catagory is where the kicker resides! ALL costs, ALL expenses included - - - but that is just my opinion, and I have no ax to grind with either of you except to say what I have already stated. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
