[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 462841, member: 1974"] We just got back from the NAILE Friday evening, played 'catch-up' at home all weekend. My first thought when seeing these pictures was "darn, they're thin", but I was brainwashed by the cattle at the NAILE being pig-fat. It looks like you have a nice set of calves there. I'd be happy with a frame size 5, 13-1400 lb cow in good flesh. I did not agree with the judging of the Herefords at the NAILE, too many classes were placed heaviest to lightest. The grand champion Hereford bull weighed over 2600 lbs! They didn't measure frame size, but there were a number of really [b]big [/b]bulls. They looked impressive, but I don't think we need to be getting our cattle that big. I thought a rough idea on how big to get the cows was aim for a mature weight about equal to the weight desired for a fat steer. I don't think we need our bulls exceeding 1000 lbs of that weight, if that much. [/QUOTE]
