[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1573305, member: 14585"] A good question, but also complicated by opinions. First we need to define a convenient set of parameters. MH is defined as a cow's height at hip at 6 yrs of age. Current breed average at age 6 is 52.75" tall ranging from 44.5" to 63" tall. I prefer to stay within the 50" to 54" range. But to answer your question, it's safe to say at least 94% will agree 59" is too tall. :) What's too much energy? Any bite of food taken by a cow that is over BCS of 7. [/QUOTE]
