[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 367633, member: 13"] I think you guys are right about forage being a limitor. At a bull sale a couple of years ago, some people actually told me they weren't interested in one of our bulls because he was too big. That was the first time anyone had ever said a bull was too big to me. They were planning to raise grass fed beef for Minnie Lou Bradley's program. I understand that in that program, smaller, faster finishing animals would be optimal. So my feelings weren't hurt, :) even though the bull actually weaned at 900 lbs. I thought that was pretty good early growth. I see that Gardiner's claim their bulls are near the top of the Angus breed in pounds, while being in the middle (or lower) of the breed for frame. Like Brandonm2 says, that sometimes gets left out of the equation, too. [/QUOTE]
