[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1811876, member: 43196"] More leg and less gut on the cow that isn't doing as well as the others on grass finished makes sense to me based on what I am familiar with. She is probably destined to be a 1500 lb finished animal as well, or on the upper end at least. Your smaller framed animals (less leg, smaller finish weight, more gut) are very much more designed to finish/perform well on grass finishing. The bigger framed, longer legs, heavier animals, less gut animals require the energy content of being grain fed, or specialized diets in a word. Don't give up on something new you have tried that others claim to work and you have seen their success, but look at your results and figure out why you aren't getting the desired results, make changes, and re-evaluate.
