[QUOTE="Bluestem, post: 474989, member: 3269"] Its dependent on your market. I'm not defending lowline. I think they are a bit small. But if I can knock 100# off the finished steer weight, thats less time to finish on grass. I'm thinking out loud here. Been wrestling with this thought for some time now. A goal is to finish on grass in 18 months. I'm very close to that goal. Knocking that 100# off the top would get me very close. But there is more to it. Economics will come into play somewhere, as well as genetics. anyway I've set up a breeding plan to knock 100# off the momma's. That will put me at 1000# cows, estimated finish weight for steers at 1100#. [/QUOTE]
