[QUOTE="WichitaLineMan, post: 1279375, member: 13385"] I understand why you'd ask a question like that but there is no quick and easy answer. The answer would be unique to your area. Genetics and Environment BOTH (and environment to a larger degree) determine mature cow size. A sire that is siring 1700# cows in western Montana may very well sire 1250# cows here because of forage quality, mineral content of forage, and average ambient air temperature. The genetic package that may be 1700# in Montana may be 1450# in Kansas 1250# here and 1100# in southern Louisiana. And for the record, I've been through Deewall's cows in the flesh and they are good and would encourage anyone to use them but they are not 1200# cows. More like 1400#-1500# in their home environment. [/QUOTE]
