[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 137883, member: 2095"] The biggest problem with giving any advice to Chester is that there is so much diversity in the nation's cow herd that we really don't know where these heifers are on their growth curve. On a heavy day in the big fall runs there can be 10-11 different frame scores in the same stock yard and every conceivable degree of muscling. I am thinking Chester has bought some lite frame 3 to frame 5 calves. It is just as possible that these are stunted large frame calves with a worm infestation OR are just good old fashioned small frame calves that are right where they need to be. I am old enough to remember fat 410 pound weaner heifers and 650 pound heifer breeding targets, but I hope Chester's are just lite. [/QUOTE]
