[QUOTE="Jafruech, post: 1652497, member: 24025"] Let me clarify the direction I was going with that. Specifically talking about Hereford/Angus, etc. In cold, arid environments, selecting for a moderate framed, easy fleshing cow with a high $EN value is going to be more profitable than a large framed one. She is going to gain back faster after calving, require less maintenance and you can stock 3 of them for a every 2 of the larger framed. I've seen plenty of Angus and Hereford with "great genetics" and large frames completely fall apart on the non existent grass out here. Meanwhile my cows get fat just looking at sandy frozen soil. Select for your environment, not for bragging rights...that was my point [/QUOTE]
