[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1353964, member: 24565"] I don't know how else to say that frame score is critical, more than weight. I don't guess I will ever own a Basset Hound type cow. The point of farming is profit not free exercise. Calves of different weights but same FS in the east: sometimes lighter calves are more profitable. But again same FS. Small frame = dock on any weight. Cow weights: OT, what is the range of weight of brood cows, including 1st calf heifers in your herd on any given day? That is what I am talking about and not the time of year that they are weighed. I'll bet that if most of us are honest, the average is made up of highs and lows. Cows here range from 1025 to 1475. Not proud of it but they are not all tightly tied to one another as a whole and they range in ages. But if weight creep has the average weight to super big cows, sell the blimps and keep the more normal cows. [/QUOTE]
