[QUOTE="novatech, post: 546023, member: 5494"] There are many factors that have been discussed and debated on these boards in the past about what makes up an efficient cow herd. It may be genetics. It may be size. It may be breed. It may be the ability to convert feed. It may be fertility. It may be management. ETC. It probably is a combination of all the above. For a cow to be considered efficient she must be able to put pounds of beef on the ground in the form of calves. She must be able to do this at least one time per year and still maintain a BCS of 6. The cost of that production determines efficiency. The product of these cows is a different story. The calves must be able to put on pounds of meat combined with tenderness and marbling, ( although some prefer lean ) a fast rate. The cost of this production determines efficiency. This is an over simplification of what I believe the difference is but I hope you can understand my perspective of the difference. [/QUOTE]
