[QUOTE="HerefordSire, post: 666544, member: 4437"] [i]My mistake. I misread what you wrote. I don't think 3008 genetics will combine any better with your heavier cows. Scientifically speaking, before I got rid of your best looking cows, I would make sure they are actually less efficient than the lighter worse looking cows. My understanding is these types of RFI tests are usually used for bulls only. Why not test your cows as long as it doesn't cost much? It is possible your heavier cows can be more efficient than your lighter cows even if they throw calves that wean at the same weight because of the heavier cows having a lower metabolism rate or better conversion ratio, etc. than your lighter cows.[/i] [/QUOTE]
