[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1816246, member: 22295"] It varies with each breeder, their type of forages, management practices, terrain and market. Ours requires a high volume cow. The barn owners I’ve talked to in the past have stated the average cow weight would be in the 1,350-1,400 lb range. The smaller framed cattle 5,0 frame and under are docked. We want to wean a 700 lb steer. Hard to do with an 1,100 lb cow. No one type or size works best everywhere. The low growth short cattle don’t work for us. Y selecting for efficiency we can maintain size and weight and cut maintenance costs by up to 25%. [/QUOTE]
