[QUOTE="East Caney, post: 583658, member: 2960"] Must've been breeders who got way carried away. There are areas which support larger framed cows. One size doesn't fit all, but does fit most. The great majority of Beefmaster cows (4 years old and up) that I have seen are in the 1,100-1,500 lb range...most being 1,200-1,400 lbs. In my opinion, if you want to know what something should be, go to the maker. Lasaters made Beefmasters. I'd bet 95% of their herd that I saw fit the numbers I just mentioned. Their bulls usually mature at 2,000-2,200 lbs...and it's usually muscle and thickness moreso than frame. EC [/QUOTE]
