[QUOTE="WalnutCrest, post: 1231029, member: 21715"] I think you will have a far more functional cowherd with better growth rates. Realize that efficiency is generally adversarial with absolute growth ... so, depending on your cow height, your hip height may lessen (but your girth, width, and length may be enhanced). One of the side effects is that you're selecting animals that will do the best on your place and under your management to produce the next generation ... and after a couple of generations, you have cattle adapted to you and your situation. I also believe that if you follow the logical extension of this, you'll select for more hormonally balanced and fertile animals, too. [/QUOTE]
