[QUOTE="skcatlman, post: 369565, member: 5562"] Just looked at the catalogue and Mr. Pharo talks about his optimum cow weight and frame size. Frame can be measured but the weight of a cow varies through out the year and does her body condition score. He mentioned frame 6 cows that are bone bags at 1000 pounds at frame 6. Why not call a spade a spade. In his situation a tiny frame 2 or 3 lets him graze more cows per acre. In my situation i perfer a thick, deep, long cow and frame isn't as important but the average frame is 6. I have spent enough time in the feedlot business to have learned you can make almost any animal work. So IMO Pharo is just another in a long line of supposed cattle guru's that convinces cattlemen to do what he is doing and if they use bulls out of his sale they will make more money. We will see if this is true or just another excellent marketing scheme that makes the guru rich. Also saw the scrotals on some of the bulls there are minimums for a reason. Those bulls with small scrotal measures will service less cows, again a way to sell more bulls. But this animal with less fertility will come back to bite him in the butt because of the heretibility of fertility. Just another guy trying to make a buck doing a heck of a job of marketing, whether is works in the real world is another question. I hope the it does for the guys who have bought into it. But i know going that small won't work for me. [/QUOTE]
