[QUOTE="Stickney94, post: 1618768, member: 37941"] Interesting question. This past fall we got a low budget scale to capture production weights. I've been pondering the small framed cows concept. Our cows weaned off in a range from 39% to 49% of body weight. The most efficient cow by that metric (and a "small framed cow") weaned off a calf 120 lbs [b][color=#0000BF]lighter [/color][/b]than our top weaned calf and 25 lbs lighter than the cow that was at 39%. There are some variables involved with those differences (calf gender, breed, calving date, etc), but it definitely gave me pause about getting to much smaller with my cows. [/QUOTE]
