[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 803102, member: 97"] Yep - and for years folks that had government grazing permits (BLM, Forest Service, State lease)-- or like in our area graze in huge community pastures (thousands of acres of mixed private and government)-- have always questioned the discrepency in cow size... A few years ago- the local association was contacted about that-- and told that the government (BLM, Forest Service, State lands) were finally looking at using an average cow size/weight to figure AUM's- and to figure the charge these folks running these new sized bigger better faster cows should pay..... Rather than the guy running the 6-7-8 frames that weigh 1450-1800+ for the same amount the guys running the 4-6 frames that weigh 1100- 1300-- and paying the same amount- the government and grazing associations are starting to wise up and look at it .... Some of us that have mostly deeded pasture have long ago seen where the smaller framed cattle- that still bring in 600lb weaning weights (50- 75% of their dams weight)- and which you can bring in more pounds per acre are the way to go-- but it is nice to see others are finally looking at it too....
