[QUOTE="rocfarm, post: 1780482, member: 42715"] Common knowledge, I thought. In Texas it’s known that, in general, F1 Brafords are the gold standard for longevity and efficiency in the southern part of the state. It just comes down to whether you can handle them. It’s also common knowledge that, in general, the farther north you go the more likely a 1400lb bigger continental will do better. But even within breeds now there are variations that allow exceptions. Probably because they are so far removed from the continent now that they are very different from their original ancestors… Did see research that showed southern cattle have been getting bigger and bigger while northern cattle have been staying the same size. To go back to Pharo, they seem to be trying to be the exception. They are selling some really small framed cattle in Nebraska now. We’ll see if that phenotype really does better in the cold over time, I guess. [/QUOTE]
