[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 608287, member: 8978"] Don't know much about frame score but do like my cows around 1400 lbs. in mid summer. Don't want any light boned cattle...they just don't seem to push the scales down? What is an ideal cow? As far as I'm concerned she is a cow that raises a calf that the feedlot buyers want. In my world that is a black steer with a good frame, heavy boned and weaning close to 650 lbs. Thats what they pay the top prices for. A tan steer in the same weight will come pretty close? Now if you have a different market you might want a different type of animal. I don't sell calves anymore but that is what the buyers want up here. That same steer toughed out over the winter and thrown on grass for 3 1/2 months should be pushing the 1000 lb. mark and the buyers still want him. I always try to give them what they want. [/QUOTE]
