[QUOTE="SEC, post: 197705, member: 3241"] Fair enough, I live in the Southwest and we have short grass like most of Montana. Most cows aren't that big, we have a 6807 cow that weighs up well, 1650lbs probably. She has done that on her own. We are good to our grass and always have an abundance and we management on the cattle at the proper times (after calving) we will often see our 2 year old come in with good flesh and if they do that then, they don't look back. Keep in mind they are raising good calves that push the scale down. I would say most cows around here purebred and commercial would average around 1450lb give or take a little. We have enough feed grains and low quality forage around that many will feed calves through the winter. To small of frame is tricky to background and since the market dicates the system many we to retreieve as much potential to gain is so needed. [/QUOTE]
