[QUOTE="Mosho, post: 381192, member: 4267"] I thank each of you for your responses. Doc, I will post some pictures of my cows sometime today but I already know that most of them are light muscled, light boned, funnel butted and need some condition. We have no grass and no hay so we are trying to get by with soyhulls and range pellets until we get some rain. Our operation is strictly commercial-raising feeder calves. We sell all of our calves. As we buy some replacements for the cows we have, we probably would like to use something with a little ear (beefmaster or brangus). Right now we are using a Charolais bull which we like and were thinking about continuing with a charolais on brangus or switching to Angus on Beefmaster. Regardless of the breed of beef cow, I know there are some characteristics to consider. The terms I hear used: capacity, depth, ewe neck are terms I do not fully understand. That is why I thought if I could see a picture of a knowledgeable person's idea of a really good cow, I could get a better understanding. [/QUOTE]
