[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1006508, member: 14661"] I disagree. I'd breed that same cow towards the middle ground and try to average my way out. We like to assume that a big cow bred to a little bull will produce an average calf but in reality that calf and future generations can swing wildly from one end of the spectrum to the other. We decide the size of the spectrum by selecting a bottom or top end. Why widen the spectrum by choosing a low end that is less than ideal? That actually doubles the chance of an animal not being right sized. [/QUOTE]
