[QUOTE="KMacGinley, post: 355007, member: 3175"] That being the case, isn't it a little bit false advertising to bill a bull as a frame 3 when he should be a frame 5 with "proper" management? The calves I get from him could be the same size as what I would normally get. For this truly genetic efficiency (on grass or forages) to work, the cattle would have to be genetically destined for said efficiency. Not environmentally forced to fit a package that he is trying to market as a genetic wonder of nature. I guess eventually, survival of the fittest would provide animals that do perform as billed, but with selling several hundred bulls at a time, I doubt that 10% work as advertised. [/QUOTE]
