[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 705248, member: 3972"] I think there is a lot of agreement in this thread, but we're just saying different things in different ways. For instance, Brian, I agree that you can get 1200 lb. cows to raise steers that will weigh and finish at 1400 lb. at 14 months. You've proven that! BUT! Would those heifers that are contemporaries to those steers also turn into 1200 lb. mature cows, like their dams? I kinda doubt it. You are probably going to have to compromise somewhere. Shoot, Jim is already compromising! His 1200 lb. mature cow weight range has already "creeped" up to 1200-1300 lb. now and those 1100 lb. 11-12 month steer weights have "creeped" down to 1000-1050! :tiphat: George [/QUOTE]
