[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1659381, member: 22295"] [B]As a commercial breeder I used to say my ideal frame range was 5.5-6.0. Today I need at least a 6.0 frame in order to try to increase the frame size lost using bulls sired by the hot AI bulls. At the sales around here the framier 6.0-7.0, well muscled stout sound bulls top the sales. And it seems many of the PB breeders don't realize they have went too far in moderation of frame size just like they have with BW's. Many also don't measure frame size and don't realize the actual frame size of their cattle. During the quarantine last spring I needed a bull and posted on an FB site and stated he had to be at least a 6.0 frame. I bought ine the breeder stated was 6.25-6.5. When he got here he lackes a 1/4" being a 5.0. He said he was one of his top 3 frame wise. Fatter than a town dog. I feel many beeeders have raised these toads so long they have no idea what frame size they are raising. I just ask breeders to know what they are raising and don't try to push those toads off on me.
