[QUOTE="6M Ranch, post: 254551, member: 2324"] Doesn't anyone realize that when you breed for a single trait, size in this case, that all sorts of other physical deformities show up. Smaller cattle produce less meat and more waste as a percentage, than their larger cousins. Arguing that a 900lb Lowline takes up less space than a 1300lb Angus steer is ridiculous. I spoke with a breeder of miniature horses a couple of years ago. In order to get the small, cute size, they would breed back to the same stud over several generations. Apparently, birth defects aren't a concern, as long as dumba** 1-2 acre ranchers are willing to buy these animals. If you hadn't guessed, I am 100% against Lowlines, mini Herefords, or any other freak of nature. [/QUOTE]
