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

[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1824441, member: 12520"] If my big cow eats $100 (this is conservative) more hay over winter than a small cow but gives me 100 lbs more calf (also conservative ) it just makes good business sense to have the bigger cow. The only time the business model for little cows makes sense (assuming your geography will support larger cattle) is if a person is stocking right to the maximum. And then sheep make more sense than cattle, so the little cow still loses out. [/QUOTE]
