[QUOTE="LFF, post: 571110, member: 1147"] I agree with your statement Doc. Most seedstock breeders are too focused on the big show style bulls and cows and overlook the value of the smaller cow or bull. I like a bull to be thick and long but I do not want that much frame for raising retained heifers, it would be fine for terminal calves. Seed stock producers often find themselves between a brick and a hard spot because the commercial man wants something that looks impressive instead of realizing the value of a moderate bull or cow, so I can't say that the seed stock producer is at fault or wrong for breeding large frame stock. I am striving to use use bulls that keep the herds frame between 5 and 6 but it can make it difficult to sell breeding stock to others. [/QUOTE]
