[QUOTE="Welter Bros Angus, post: 1564295, member: 38213"] Personally I like bigger cows, my perfect cow would be 1400-1500 lbs. Using duff and oldhe genetics is going to dramatically decrease frame as well as weight. Yes, he is outcross and has a phenomenal phenotype but those calves will not grow near as well as anything else available across studs. I’d be interested in using him on very large frame cows, but his dollar values just aren’t there. It’s very rare to see an angus bull below $80 on $B in any of the sales around across the country. He’s $7 on $B. For me, my customers need to have marketability, and having some carcass values is critical. It takes a lot to get frame in cattle, and I can’t justify using him. I think he’d work really well in a grass finishing program. IMO, if you really want to decrease frame and keep dollar values, you should use Charlo. [/QUOTE]
