[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 397167, member: 5601"] Re: small boned cattle My location, location, location and my goal. If I were running range cattle, which I’m not, I would purchase or retain them as they are better at sustaining themselves under adverse conditions. As my goal is to produce the heaviest animal I can in the shortest period of time I can, small bone animals just don’t fit my program. 1. weight gain. To reach 1,000 Lbs takes longer and costs more. 2. Small bone animals have more runt calves then do large bone animals. 3. And if you run a mix of small and large bone cows you will surly have more birthing problems with the small boned ones if you use a large bone bull. And if you use a small bone bull, well—see 1. My orphan o9 is a perfect example of what happens when you use a big bone bull on a small bone cow. See: Deformity. Suggestions wanted (pics) SL [/QUOTE]
