[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 675122, member: 968"] That's your problem - you have the wrong kind of cows. I would be losing money also if I had 1500# cows weaning 40%. That is a CULL cow. Willow - I still disagree with your statement about frame size. We (ME) are not talking about mongrels breeding mongrels. If you have 4-5 frame cows & you use a 6.5-7 frame bull, you will get all the range of frames. It's been proven time & time again. Many people use larger frame bulls on their small cows - which is a smart thing to do. But, you will get inconsistant calf crop. If you have a breed of cows bred to a "like' framed bull, the calf crop will be pretty darn consistant with only a few outlyers. [/QUOTE]
