[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 396903, member: 637"] I often see comments about cattle being too small boned. I personally don't see a problem with this trait. What about this trait would keep you from purchasing or retaining the animal for breeding purposes? I have never heard of a cow with bones breaking because they were too small. I have never heard of a cow having problems giving birth to a calf because his bones were too small. You can't eat the bone. Larger boned cattle, like milk breeds, are discounted because of bone size. What problems have you had to deal with small boned animals? Chuckie [/QUOTE]
