[QUOTE="Northern Rancher, post: 555187, member: 5898"] When I walk into a pen of big framed bulls the last thing that goes through my mind is how all that p[erceived extra growth is going to make me money. I tend to ponder on the increased Cost of Production in their daughters and steers, the heavy carcass discounts when I sell them on the grid-the possible calving troubles. As to customers wanting big heifers I have to call BS on that one we've sold alot of moderate sized bred heifers over the years for some real good money. Big framed-overfed cattle can be pleasing to the eye not much else. If I want to increease frame and performance-not necessarily profit- on my black and baldie cows I'll turn out a exotic bull. When I walk into a pen of bulls they had better look pretty even-not a big fan of flavour of the month purebred outfits. [/QUOTE]
