[QUOTE="TennesseeTuxedo, post: 1590394, member: 16965"] Fence, His cattle are robust but honestly not as over conditioned as they appear in the photos he posts here. I took a few shots of them with my IPhone 8 and they look no more filled out than some of my own cows. As I mentioned previously we don't have scales so I have no clue how much some of our bigger gals weigh but I do see a difference in cow size with the younger gals that were sired the SAV Bismarck bull and raised on the farm. Back in 2012 I came across the registration papers to a group of purchased heifers that my in-laws bought in the early '90's. There were lots of names in the bunch that I recognized as being from well known cow families and the decedents of these cows tend to be larger in frame. I have no doubt if we grained them year round they'd really fill out. Up until Branded came along I never really gave cow size or how much it took to maintain them on the farm much thought but it's something I might start paying attention to in the future. Then again, I might not. [/QUOTE]
