[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1590352, member: 22295"] Jeanne I agree. I desire mature frame size and feel it is needed in order for this study to be beneficial to me. With all of the current push by breeders for top EPD's many times the yearling frame score isn't close to the mature frame size. I've seen it go both ways based on environment, mothers milk production and extra feed. I have a bull now that was a 7 at a yearling and a 5.5 as a 3 y/o. Have another similar. Then have seen those who had limited feed who matured a lot larger than their yearling score. There are so many influences that can influence a yearling frame score I don't pay much attention to them. I look at the sire and dam and form my own opinion. [/QUOTE]
