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

[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1827311, member: 25884"] [USER=498]@Dave[/USER] is right on the salvage value also... anything weighing under 1000 lbs live weight is going to bring less per pound at the sale, or on the rail.... so having cows to fit the business model is also important... 12-1500 is the sweet spot here for cull cows in good flesh.... and getting $.15 to $.30 more per pound for the cull animal adds up also... a 1200 lb cow does not eat much more than a 1000 lb cow.... and she usually will produce a calf that will bring $.20-.40 more per pound as a feeder, because they have a better frame size and more pounds to sell....
