I have been thinking about frame score lately and a mature weight for my cattle. I was wondering what other breeders think is ideal. I have been thinking frame 6-6.5 with grown mamas in the 1250-1400lb range. I used to think 1100lbs was enough cow. It seems the cattle today are larger in general in all the breeds. Im not sure if its that or not too long ago most folks didnt weigh anything until it went across the auction block,nothing on farm.I want to produce a smaller more effecient cow going forward. Some of my first attempts have been successfull giving me 3 year olds that are just at 5.9/6.0 frame and are in the 1250lb range.They weaned their first calves at 5.7-6.1fs and 635-699 weights. I read a thread on here about a bull that was maybe producing frame 4 offspring, I think Angus.Just curious what others think. I am a Charolais producer and I think frame 6 and 1300lb. looking forward to what others in the commercial and different registered breeds think work. Maybe I need to change my mind to suit the commercial sector?
