[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1463693, member: 968"] This still boils down to the "small cow" vs the "big cow". No matter what size the cow is, she must fit your environment. And, you have to remember that a cow - any cow - needs the same "management" - no matter what the size. If one is sick, she must be treated. If one has a difficult calving, she must be helped. When you vaccinate, each cow must be run thru the chute & given same vaccines (big or small) - unless of course, you have no management for health. Bottom line, each and every cow requires your stewardship. Small or big takes just as much of YOUR time. I am fortunate to have superb grazing. I am also fortunate to have a nice paycheck in the fall on my steers. But, I also do not play Russian roulette. I found a feedlot buyer that buys my steers sight unseen each year and pays the highest price gotten at the top "steer market" sale barn. And NY does NOT have an abundance of feedlots. [/QUOTE]
