[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 1108108, member: 16303"] With the weight of the cattle from the feedlot getting heavier, what impact will decreasing cow size have on carcass weights? I myself like a 6 frame cow. Others as they have said like a frame 5. It all comes down to efficiency for producers. The large frame cattle we have was partly a result of when the Continental breeds first came into the US, they were some big cattle 7+ frame. What is ironic is that all of the Continentals have brought their frame size down while we have increased the frame of our British breeds. [/QUOTE]
