[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1782072, member: 24816"] That’s the thing, it’s logical that a smaller cow would be less expensive to maintain, but it’s certainly hard to quantify with any certain hard numbers. I’ve always believed that the folks that take the small frame thing too the extreme or even just the low end of the mainstream are loosing more on calf performance than they save on inputs. Definitely the smaller framed calves are not in sync with what the feeders want because they will finish out too small they hit a ceiling pretty quick all the way around. [/QUOTE]
