[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 782145, member: 3972"] I'd probably take you up on that bet! And I'd also bet that the extra weaning weight of the Holden cattle would better benefit the cow/calf producer on the bottom line. Somewhere in the middle, as far as cow size goes, might be ideal. I just don't think you'd want to try to get there by crossing the two lines. The Holden cattle aren't that extreme in frame size. They are just heavy where they stand with good depth of body, width, and volume. Also, Holden has only had ONE bull in the last two sales that had a BW of 100+ lbs. As a breeder who very seldom sees BWs in my own herd that approach 90 lb., they still seem high to me, but in watching posts from others here who live up in the cooler climates and who calve in winter, the Holden BWs seem to compare favorably to what they experience.
