[QUOTE="BRG, post: 534120, member: 2397"] Their is more to it than just weight and frame. We don't put any feed through our cows, they only eat grass, summer and winter, and I wouldn't call them small. Sure if you have a 6 frame cow without any body, then you are in trouble. But if the weight is on them in the right spot, and they raise the kind of calves that are marketable, then you have something that is in demand. We have standing orders for replacement heifers coming out of our commercial customers cow herds, and feedlots wanting their steer mates. If you can please both sides of the industry, I think you are doing things somewhat right. Tell me what you think of this cow. I know she weighs more than 1200 lbs, but to me, she is pretty ideal. Moderate framed (5.5 frame), very easy keeping, breeds back on time, perfect udder, and a calf raising machine and has the stay porwe we all need as she is 10 years old now. We are working to get our entire herd to be just like her, even though she isn't a 1200 lbs cow.
