[QUOTE="BIZIN, post: 344210, member: 5783"] not so many breeds. its proven that the most efficient producing cows are 3 way and 4 way crosses. F2 and F3's i believe. I want a small to medium framed cow that can drop a 75 - 80lb calf in may or june, and come weining time in november i want that calf to weigh 550-600 lbs with no creep feed or implants. i have almost reached that goal now. not only that but we finish our own cattle and i want a calf that can finish out real well. we are almost there as well. yesterday we got our results back from the liner load we sent to lexington, NE, and 10 on the load went prime yield grade 1, which they told us is almost unheard of and we are doing something right. also i want to get away from the mainstream. the mainstream breeds are getting too big, too tall, and too overly fed. its time cattle went back to their roots. around are ranch its all about efficiency. if a cow costs more then $350 CAD to run for a whole year, then she isnt worth keeping. I want to get that number down to $250 CAD, and still keep that cow in good shape and producing good calves. just trying to find a breed that will work. [/QUOTE]
