[QUOTE="novatech, post: 554099, member: 5494"] Why do you think smaller cows would be more fuel efficient. Smaller cattle will mean fewer lbs. being transported on the same truck, therefore meaning more fuel per lb. The only reason this would be true is to haul on double decker. This brings another question to mind. What is the dressing percentage of a small frame calf vs. a large frame? It seems to me that dressing percentage should be high on the list when it comes to efficiency but it is hardly ever brought up. [/QUOTE]
