[QUOTE="dun, post: 476719, member: 34"] The problem with breeding small framed cows to large framed bulls is that you don;t alwasy get the average of the 2. You may get some in the middle but there will still be those that tend towards the bulls size and those that tend towards the cow size. If I had a steady market for smaller framed steers, like customers to buy them direct for slaughter, the small framed cows would be dandy. Around here every one and his cat has a calf or 2 or has a friend/relative that does. We only get a request occasioanlly for a side of beef or a slaughter steer. Those calls I route to folks that have them. As I said before and BRG reiterated my customers are the feeders. The ones that buy our calves are looking for small 1s to large 2s. If I could raise the breed that I really like and not worry about selling them I'ld probably have Gyr. [/QUOTE]
