[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 476422, member: 1604"] I've seen very small frames that couldn't convert diddly. Those are a waste of my time and money. If a small frame calf takes 12-15 lbs. of feed to make one pound of gain, when I can regularly get a conversion ratio of 5:1. I'll take the larger calf every day. If anyone thinks it takes a small frame cow to be efficient, they are fooling themselves. Feed Efficiency is a biological process that doesn't know what a Frame Score is. In a commercial pasture of mine there are Herfs, Brangus, and Char crosses. They range from Frame 4's to Frame 7's. The small frames aren't necessarily the easier keepers. [/QUOTE]
