[QUOTE="toughntender, post: 1098230, member: 21587"] I agree with your last statement bse, that if your cattle aren't adapted they aren't doing you any favors. The only exception that I take with your analysis is that I am not sure a 1400 lb cow will consistently bring in a 700 lb calf. She will absolutely need extra feed most years to be able to rebreed and hold condition. I think the point that the proponents of smaller frame cattle are trying to make is that the easier keeping small frame cattle will be much more consistent in their production year in and year out. They won't need a lot of extra inputs but will bring in a calf. That's what the cattle business is supposed to be, greatest output with fewest inputs. [/QUOTE]
