[QUOTE="dun, post: 328758, member: 34"] While I agree that down siziing to a degree is a good thing, but you still have to supply what your customer wants. Unless you direct market, your customer is the feedlot or slaughterhouse. When I get docked or can't even sell 5 frame calves I'll stick with the 6-6.5 and not take a beating. Even sally home maker doesn;t want the extreme of small ribeyes. Have a nieghbor with an excellent looking herd of good grading Red Angus. He bought into Pharos propaganda a number of years ago. Even with #1 muscle he can;t sell the small #2 frames. The deal is to avoid any extreme for any trait. It would be great if you could breed FS 4 cos to FS 8 bulls and get FS 6 calves, but it doesn;t work that way. Ma Nature abhors extremes but by the same token she doesn;t do everything on averages either. dun [/QUOTE]
