[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 190104, member: 1604"] Doc, you statements are well taken but I think we must point out frame size and frame scores of feeder cattle and the influence of the bulls. Everyone is on the hunt for frame 3-5 cattle that are purported to be more efficient. In order to have feeder calves that pay top dollar (in all the feeder calf reports I've seen) those calves need to be 6's (and sometimes 7-8's) and have good muscle scores. Theoretically, it would take a frame 9 bull to make a 6 frame calf out of a frame 3 cow. I guess this is why I have scratched my head consistently when bull buyers come to look at a pen of bulls and pick the "Biggest" one in the bunch each and every time. :?: :?: :?: :?: A good Terminal Sire must make the growthiest/healthiest calves that you can raise given your resources.
