[QUOTE="East Caney, post: 426419, member: 2960"] The simple answer is "yes". Now for some unsolicited comments...I think it's better to select for frame over generations (plural) not a generation (singular). Moderate framed animals are good. At the same time, I don't want them too short. Anything can be overselected either way. It's not often that you're going to fix something in one generation and get consistent future results. You may as well just select for the frame size you want, and select a bull with that frame size the next three times you buy a bull. But, if you want your cattle to have the same frame as that bull, use one like him 3 times over. He doesn't seem to be lacking anything but frame...certainly not lacking condition. [/QUOTE]
