Does more pounds per acre make up for being docked at the sale barn for small frame size?

[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1824410, member: 43196"] I'm not so sure about sizing your cows based on your land, but I see what you are saying. Having large animals on a small amount of acreage kinda makes for cramped quarters for the animal, and I think this is where you were going. Smaller animals on a lot of acreage can make sense though. Just means you can have a lot more animals. When it comes to deciding if land is "good" or not, I would have to say that the most unbiased evaluation tool that can be used to make that determination would be the Pasture Condition Score Sheet utilized by the NRCS. There are things that one may want to consider within a pasture for their own purposes, but those things are items that are not universal in their value and may be beneficial to some while detrimental to others. In terms of smaller animals for smaller/larger animals I was thinking, what about sheep? But then I have to stop and think, this is a cattle forum, so sheep don't count, or not nearly as much.
