[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 847325, member: 9096"] I think you can safely play the middle of the road.. if you have a 1000 lb frame 5 cow, even if she raises a good calf, it's probably not going to have much meat on it, while a 1600 lb frame 5 may indeed be too big, but to my eye, I really like it when an animal shows you that it has steaks in it. As for lines that are poor mothers.. definitely... we have a couple of them that I swear don't lick their calf until it's about 3 months old... I don't like them, but for now, they're giving me a calf every year and paying their hay bill [/QUOTE]
