I didn't know you like large cattle. I am glad I am not the only one.
If the F-150 name is a 1/2 ton or 1,000 pounds, and the F-250 name is a 3/4 ton or 1,500 pounds, and the F-350 name is a 1 ton or 2,000 pounds, then naming your next could be "Super Duty" after a Remitall bull.
2,400# is about the absolute limit that I want a mature bull to weigh, and he needs to be moderate enough frame for the 1,800-2,400# to be packed on right. The F150 and so on would be more relative to how powerful the genetics became as they were stacked.
You really should look into the Harper Cattle Co. of Texas and New Mexico. They purchased the old Ochs Bros herd of Gunnison Colorado. Now there are some massive beef machines. Bulls up to 3,245# and 63" tall. Cows that weigh a ton. At least they did in Colorado. You might suppose that they've moderated to some extent in Texas and New Mexico.
You could call the 2,400 maximum pound bull F-350.4 Now you are talking (Harper cattle). Are they about as big as Keynote 20X or bigger? Oops, I just snaked on one of my monitors .
