[QUOTE="faster horses, post: 1749302, member: 17524"] I have a couple of questions. I am merely curious. 1. At what age are you talking 6.0 frame on a bull? 2. When are you weighing your cows to know they weigh 1400-1500#? We had a scale and I can tell you that cows weigh 100# more at home than they do at a sale. Your cows could be 1500-1600# if you are using sale day weight. In our country 1200-300# cows fit the environment well. There aren't many that size by looking at the sale/weight reports. Most cows are larger than that. That size cow has no problem weaning a 600+# calf at 205 days of age. I think producers forget to give their calves a 205 day weight when they are talking weaning weights. Age has a lot to do with WW. It's gain per day of age that tells the true story. It is my belief that when stacking things, like frame score, weaning weight, etc. a person is heading for trouble. It is easier to get where you want to be than it is to stay there. [/QUOTE]
