[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 329444, member: 2095"] I agree. I think the cow/calf sector would be better off from strictly a production standpoint with a smaller cow size. 2s and 3s being more efficient etc; but as long as we have to deal with the feedlots and the packer and they control price I think we are stuck raising a 4-6 frame mama cow. Maybe the grass fed guys can operate with 2s and 3s; but in the commodity beef business USDA smalls (frame 3 and below) take too great a dock to possibly be worth it. [/QUOTE]
