[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 380276, member: 2095"] I wasn't aware that we had a midget gene in cattle, Doc. If that is correct, mine would probably be more correctly defined as a "midget". All I know is that I crossed a ~1900 lb Purebred bull to a ~1200 lb 3/4 cow of the same breed (not a Hereford) and got a DINK....bigtime DINK! I don't think he was a minnie. Those were bred down from frame one cows. This sprung from a frame 5/4 mating over night and was part of a good commercial calf crop that probably avged ~580. IF I had been smart enough to anticipate the mini-cattle movement, I would have left him intact and been a millionaire (I slapped an elastrator band on his nuts when he surprised me by living to be 30 days old). He wasn't prime; but he was very tender although he was mostly grass fattened with the heifers. [/QUOTE]
