[QUOTE="HerefordSire, post: 572249, member: 4437"] What you need to know is where you are at and what kind of cow matches that production environment. In this study of a group of cows on range in South Dakota, the bigger cows could not consume enough high quality forage too milk well enough to produce competitively with the smaller cattle..... [url=http://herefordworld.org/_HW/Documents/0808_BeefTalk.pdf]http://herefordworld.org/_HW/Documents/ ... efTalk.pdf[/url] If that were a real world ranch, I bet over 5 years most of those 1600++ lb momma cows would get culled out from failure too breed back or stay sound. Most of Pharo's buyers are "presumably" in country that is as rough or rougher than the station in South Dakota. [i]In regards to the article: immediately after reading it, I questioined whether the genetics were identical, such that all of the two groups of cattle had the same sire and dam. If they did which genetic combinations performed the best, irregardless of weight. The culling in your real world would depend on the genetic combinations, not the weight.[/i] [/QUOTE]
