[QUOTE="retro, post: 1237886, member: 23628"] We all know there are different answers to that question , It all depends on your goals and the type of cows you have right ? That been said I personal have Angus cows that weigh about 1400 lbs. and frame score about 6.2 big birth weight for my goals is 90lb but i get some that throw 100 lb calves. I don't like to see it . the end result is that calf doesn't usually out out perform the 80 lb calves to warrant the extra risk or cost involved. That Is JMO . Some else can deal with the higher BW Bulls after all there is a market for them just not in my operation. ....I know the thread where Highgrit came up with this question....AGAIN JMO but the way the statement" Bigger is Better" was posted was not well thought out in that thread before being posted....But again JMO before somebody gets their panties in a bunch... :tiphat: [/QUOTE]
