[QUOTE="ANAZAZI, post: 491791, member: 7541"] I understand that I talk a little late, but hear me out; there is a top weight to slaugter a steer if you like to get good price per weight. If a small cow can produce sons big enough for that, she is big enough! If your cow has double this size you still have to slaughter her son at the same weight= less profit! Pounds weaned per pounds mother cow is the issue here. In the half year with the calf, both cows work becase big cows give alittle higher weaning weights, but the other half year there is just more cost. Make sure you get cows that milk enough and good conformation and moderare frame, because rate of gain after weaning is not your problem. [/QUOTE]
