[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1659398, member: 22295"] What I see with frame size is they will push a calf hard and he will have a 6.0 or better frame score. When he is mature he will be around a 5.0. They will list his yearling frame score but bot his mature frame score. I have seen this several times. I have a 5 y/o bull now that was 6.5as a yearling, Then they used him as a yearling and didn't feed him much after pulling him off the cows. As a 2 when I bought him he was a frame score 5.4. Today he is a 6.0. So frame score is influenced by how they are developed. Many of the 5.0 frame AI sires had bigger yearling frame scores. So why I pay little attention to yearling frame scores. The smaller frame scored cattle are docked heavily in this area. So unless you are feeding your cattle out it pays to raise what sells best. [/QUOTE]
