[QUOTE="Nkline, post: 1671268, member: 41001"] The original poster said she lives in central ND and, winter cows on silage, chopped alfalfa/grass or cover crop. With free choice hay available. So I told her the frame size the current cattle industry is built for. I have no problem with smaller cattle elsewhere, but focus should not be making cows small, it should be making efficient small cows. Studies show that cow size isn’t the main driver in how much cows eat. Milk production and inherent feed efficiency (differences in metabolism) are. [/QUOTE]
