[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1817539, member: 38220"] Different ways to go about it. But, first you have to decide how much inputs and management you want to put into your cattle. If you keep them grazing through good times (green growing forage) and bad (dormant fill em up type forage or hay) and a little protein through the dry times, with the qualifier that they always need enough dry matter, then that is what they need to be able to live on. Then select for the ones that raise the highest value calves and so it year after year. The cows will sort themselves as to frame size, efficiency, performance, fertility, etc. in your specific management and environment. Maybe they might be Warren Allison bush cattle or they might be Jeanne - Simme Valley show/performance cattle, but most likely somewhere in between. Main thing is to drop preconceived notions and let the cows show you how and whether they fit what you provide for their living conditions. [/QUOTE]
