Gelbvieh article-cow size

[regenwether]

I just got a newspaper from the Gelbvieh association called "The Profit Picture". There is a very interesting article there written by Wes Ishmail. The article centers around Cow size. The title is "It's about Efficiency, Not Cow Size". I'm not sure how to get the link.

Basicly they say a smaller cow size might not net you more money. The enviroment is the wild card. They admited that in rangland conditions a smaller cow will do better.

If you get a chance..check the article out.

I did not see the article but I have some 900 to 1000# cows. Some raise big calves, some don't, but none of them eat me out of house and home.
I have a lot of improved pasture so I think a little bigger cow is ideal for my feed.
