[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1845248, member: 22295"] That research is done by people with no money in the game. I have been told that the results of a lot of research is determined before the research starts. If the results don’t come out as pre planned they are never posted. I have read the results of many of those studies. In all I have seen that favored the small cow they figure the low weight short framed, light muscled calve will bring as much per lb as a framier, well muscled heavier WW calf. In the real world we operate in it isn’t the case. We have tried short framed low weight cows. They don’t last here. In drought years they cull themselves out. I don’t need to read someone else’s research in another envywho has no money in the game. I know what returns the most money per acre here for us and many commercial breeders I know. Have you done any research yourself or are you basing it on what you read? No one size and type works best everywhere. The short legged paddock cattle work in some places but not here. [/QUOTE]
