[QUOTE="1848, post: 108378, member: 1303"] Something with frame and thickness, just be careful using certain breeds on smaller cows or heifers. Use 3 and 4 year old cows that milk, get them to 7 or 8 years and then sell them. This helps reduce calving problems, these animals take the stresses better, and they are putting out some of their best calves. I would think a registered Charolais or Simmental with a light birth weight EPD would put frame and muscle, but your losses at calving might be greater depending on what they are used on, and you will take a hit, or a cost to dehorn them [/QUOTE]
