[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1493436, member: 14585"] My guess is they expected to find that more calves from lighter cows would be more efficient all the way through the production process right to the retail end product. But I think what they accidentally found is, it makes almost no difference in the overall picture of beef production, as gains made in one area are offset by losses in another. At least for producers that retain ownership of their calves all the way through. The argument of which type/size of cow works best is pretty much meaningless as it all comes out in the wash. That may not be the intent, but that is kind of my take away from it. [/QUOTE]
