[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1557935, member: 9096"] If two bulls are identical in all other aspects than WW/YW, then I don't think anyone would argue which bull you'd want to use.. However, that's never going to be the case. If you had 2 cows that differed only in frame size and raised the same calves, I don't think anyone would choose the 2000 lb cow over the 1500 lb cow. Around here, if prices for 5wts are $2.25/lb and the prices for 7wts are $1.75/lb, you're putting on 200 lbs of weight for only $100 bucks more in your pocket, so the smaller cows producing 5wts are in fact more profitable.. There are SOOOO many factors to this.. I don't think a 1000 lb cow is something I will ever aspire to have though These two full sisters are about what I like for size.. the sister on the left doesn't look as good, but makes the thicker calves, sister on the right is prettier, her calves are less meaty but bigger in frame and heavier. She raised 2 calves last year and they were about 900-1000 lbs total, born Apr 1st or so, Sold in October.
