[QUOTE="Willow Springs, post: 674317, member: 9002"] We have Red Angus cattle. We have started weighing and hip heighting cows every second year. Most of our cows are 5-6 frame and will weigh 1450-1550 lbs at 5-6 BCS for that frame. I want to get our size down to 1300-1400 so I am aiming for 4-5 frame bulls. As Frankie said, most bull buyers up here want bulls that show some growth so I don't want to go too much smaller at this point. If a person wants 1200 lb cows with a decent BCS 5-6 I think you'll have to aim for 3 frame. There will be breed differences but to me that would be the general rule. [/QUOTE]
