[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1305602, member: 24583"] Nope. The "highly efficient small framed cow" is highly efficient at producing animals that may have a smaller frame and less muscling. Therefore these calves may not grade as good and thus may not bring as much money. However the important calculation is not which calf brought the most, but which cow had the highest return based on sales price of calf (-) cost to raise said calf. Just because that calf doesn't have a large frame and brings less than a number 1, doesn't mean that the number 1 calf was more profitable, because it's highly likely his momma probably ate more in order to raise him. Not a given.... But likely. [/QUOTE]
