[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 803094, member: 13402"] Well we have to try to produce what the customer wants, however we also have to produce what will keep us in business. For us it is moderate frame cattle, in our enviornment if we have a 7 frame animal it would starve to death or melt in the heat and humidity. We also retain heifers, large frame cattle don't work in our enviornment so we don't breed that way. Another thing I will say is you don't have to have a powerful cow for her to have a powerful calf,if you have powerful genetics. Bottom line as breeders we have to know what works in our particular enviornment, and for our customers and do all we can to produce a product that works for both. I might really like a bull that is a 7 frame but he won't work for me, but that doesn't mean he won't work really well for someone in another enviornment. After twenty years we have learned not to chase fads or the hot sire but just to breed what we know will work for us and our customer.
