[QUOTE="jdg, post: 1482163, member: 13350"] The bit about playing Offense and Defense is important to remember. Pharo is correct, IMO, about breeding for cattle that fit the environment, and I believe, mostly right about smaller cattle being more efficient. (exceptions to every rule) But small framed calves do get docked. I believe most people would make more money with moderate sized cattle (frame 4.0-5.5) bred to a terminal bull, and not saving those heifers) Pharo bulls would probably work best to downsize the black cows out there that weight 1800+ with 3 terminal bulls up close in their pedigree. If you trace Pharo's pedigrees, many of them feature Ohlde, Wye, Beckton, and Buffalo Creek breeding; programs that have made a mark on their respective niches. The Pharo program certainly excels at marketing, but I believe it is pointing in the right direction, the caveat is also that there is a place for breeding maternal, and a place to breed pounds.
