[QUOTE="dun, post: 50308, member: 34"] Since the ideal? to fit the box is 11 to around 13-13.5 for ribeye when slaughtered, what size would be a target for weanling and for mature animals? We may be ultrasounding our replacements and probably even some of the mature cows to get a feel for where we lay in meeting our goal of 12-13 inch. Is there a formula that gives the correction factor for different age animals like there is for pelvic measurments? This whole ultrasound deal is an unknown. We know from slaughter data that bessy bred to george puts us in the ballpark but when bred to sam doesn't, but if bossy is bred to george we exceede the 14 inch preferred maximum. With any luck by having these measurments we'll be better able to select which bulls will work with which cows/heifers without having to run several calves through the cow to collect historical data. dun [/QUOTE]
