Or frame and muscling. Downside of highly efficient cows that are small and lightweight is that calves have a hard time getting into the most profitable part of the marketing. Small frame will cost you more than bull/steer.TennesseeTuxedo":3c9yu74x said:goddy":3c9yu74x said:Seems to me the best way to get more $ would be to produce something better than a 400 lb calf.

I think the debate here is not over the weight by why the calves sold so low in their respective weight class vs. their peers.

So the "highly efficient small framed cow " is highly efficient at producing animals the buyers don't want ?
