[QUOTE="notEXTRAspecial, post: 1817519, member: 43323"] I’m not trying to sell the dink story. I understand there comes a point where frame score negatively affects the price of calves sold. But I believe I don’t need 6-7 (or bigger) frame cattle to realize good prices for my steer and heifer calves. I’m not in the least bit offended when I see huge, open cows at the sale barn or in my neighbors pastures for that matter. I just don’t see how the financial numbers work out well. 50 to 100 years ago when cattle paid for ranches and when huge wealth was realized, smaller framed critters is where the money was. 🤷♂️ [/QUOTE]
