[QUOTE="dun, post: 91811, member: 34"] The weight to FS tables are for "average" cattl, whatever that is. If they're longer, wider, deeper then that average the weight thing doesn;t mean diddly. Now that I've got that off my chest, we like to use a FS 5.5 to 6 on the cows that we hope to get heifers from to retain. For the meat cows we'll go to a 6.5 maybe even a 6.7, doesn;t matter much since the calves are gone long before they reach that kind of size. But the feeders seem to like those large framed calves better then the mediums. But they have to carry the muscle to go with the frame. dun [/QUOTE]
