[QUOTE="polledbull, post: 1098172, member: 574"] alot of folks that say they have 1100 lb cows , probably have 1200 lb cows , there is not alot of mature 1100 lb cows out there, and for good reason , they are to short , you will get docked on short calves more than any other thing in healthy calves. the ideal size for me is 13-1400 lb, in the end , she will bring in a good check when culled, and cull cow income is an important part of the operation. the move to moderate cow size is a mistake , dont get started believing that 1100 lb cows are alright , they will cost you at the pay window. the angus breed has gotten carried away with short bulls, 54-55 inch bulls are hurting the breed. i am constantly looking for a 59-60 inch bull with some thickness , and they are hard to find now , some breeders are breeding 4- 5 frame bulls , and they are mighty short in my opinion, keep them big , it will be alright [/QUOTE]
