[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1372459, member: 20580"] Please explain how hip height relates to weights. Weaning and yearling ratios are based off of weights not hip heights. You could have a poor performing animal with a taller hip height that is light muscled and lacking in depth and length weigh less than a smaller framed animal that packs some good muscle and is well built. Larger frame doesn't necesarily translate to better performance and the race to the larger frame cattle probably set some people back in the late 90's and early 2000's because a lot of those cows turned out to be some real hard doers. Some of the smaller framed animals sometimes are built better and a lot more efficient than larger framed cattle. [/QUOTE]
