[QUOTE="novatech, post: 458662, member: 5494"] Over all very nice long bodied cow. I am not totally convinced on this frame size issue, in that moderate frame size egual more efficiency. Brahman and brahman influnced cattle (generally speaking) have been proven to be more feed efficient than say a straight bred something else. Given that, a larger frame score brahman influenced animal can be maintained at the same price as a smaller frame score less efficient animal. Murry grays are more feed efficient than many of the other breeds. They may have a lower frame score but their thickness many times makes them just as large as some high frame score animals. It all boils down to what it costs to produce the calf and what they sell for. These two items may vary greatly depending on where you raise your cattle and what the market is wanting in your location. Having said this, I also beleive that in a commercial herd of unknown breeding one should probably assume that the moderate frame score/weight will overall be more efficient. [/QUOTE]
