[QUOTE="certherfbeef, post: 94699, member: 190"] rwtherefords suggestion is based soley on location, I think. While talking with Campground this weekend, we both came to the same conclusion. My big framed 1500#+ herfs would melt in the texas heat if they didn't starve to death on the bahia grass first. His smaller framed 1200# herfs would freeze here. My grass is plentful. I run 5 pairs per acre. My cows are just as efficient as Camp's. Same breed different environment. Big cows take more feed, they also make more heat in the winter. they have to. Texan is right too. Harder to feed 4 times as many big cows as it is to feed them char bulls whether you are in a drought or not. Environment plays a BIG role in your choice of breed and size of cow. I just didn't realize how big till just recentally. [/QUOTE]
