[QUOTE="rocket2222, post: 500369, member: 5362"] I actually had both small and large. At the same time I had that 9+ frame cow pictured, I also had a couple of mid 4 frames, I also had 5's 6's 7's and 8 frames over about a 7 year period, it was the early 90's and the big frames were still somewhat "hot" but some breeders were starting to see a few problems. We went around and bought a few heifers from local breeders, mostly Victor breeding, some of those breeders had used some large frame bulls, some had not, so we ended up with a mixed bunch, small to large. Then I decided to try a bunch of different type bulls, some older proven bulls, some new, some big and small, and see what worked for me. All that took about 7 or 8 years, by the time i'd tried a few different bulls, watched the calves grow and get some daughters in production and seen their calves grow. Off course, I ended up somewhere about midway between the two. Hard to believe it took me about 8 years to figure that out, er. Jeez. :) [/QUOTE]
