[QUOTE="novatech, post: 542946, member: 5494"] Common sense would imply that smaller cattle would eat less. That is to people that are new to cattle and do not know about hard keepers, easy fleshing, longevity, etc. I've never seen size make 2 cents worth of difference. Now good sound breeding for efficiency, easy fleshing, etc. should be ones first concern. When you get that down maybe size will be a consideration. I think a lot of this size thing is being sold by those that raise the little ones. Try and do some googleing on the subject. You will find their is very little research on the subject. It seems that size should be based on conditions. The only ones pointing out the benefits are those that will profit from them. [/QUOTE]
