[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 535522, member: 97"] I had an interesting conversation with a fellow yesterday that had ended up with the same problem of frame creep I did- and he brought up something I had not thought about--he said that some of his came about when he got sold by the vet into the idea of pelvic measuring his heifers, and then kept those with the bigger pelvic measurements for his replacements....Which were usually the bigger sized/framed heifers- and over the years of doing this the size of his cows gradually got bigger....And he didn't sound like he felt the measuring was worth the effort.... About 10 years ago he switched over to using mostly Diamond D/Ohlde bloodlines of lowbirthweight bulls and says he has less calving problems now than when he was screwing around with the pelvic measuring- and is bringing his cow size back to where it was....
