[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1807329, member: 43196"] I've wondered about the size of some of the cows mentioned here. Someone tell me the thought process of why you want a big cow. The thought process I use is that you actually want a smaller cow because she will consume fewer resources (cost less) in terms of hay and pasture, or be able to have more cows for the resources available, and the calf the cow is producing has an 'ideal' market size that is independent of the cow size. In other words: 500# calf on a big cow costs $$$ in resources 500# calf on a small cow costs $ in resources (or the same $ in resources but more cows which means more calves) [/QUOTE]
