[QUOTE="simme, post: 1748267, member: 40418"] "Best" frame depends on what you are selling and to whom. Retaining ownership to slaughter - whatever frame is efficient for you. Need to have enough frame to get around in their environment and gain and carry weight to slaughter. Selling calves at weaning - need to have whatever frame the buyers in your area think is right for them to make money on, whether they are "right" or not. Selling breeding bulls - need whatever frame the buyers in your area think they need for breeding their cows, whether they are right or not. Point is that perceived desirable traits affect selling price, regardless of university studies, real world experience, efficiency, etc. "Best" sometimes depends on what the customer wants and rewards, even if it is "wrong". Hard to sell a bull here less than 5.5 frame with 6.5 being preferred over 5.5. [/QUOTE]
