[QUOTE="novatech, post: 711598, member: 5494"] Breeding for big mama cows flat out does not make scents. Even if you have highly efficient cattle you can be more efficient by down sizing. Common scents alone ought to tell you this. With the proper genetics this does not mean you have to sacrifice growth of the calf. Choosing a cow on size is a single trait selection as well as any other trait. I believe that when one takes the time to develop the right genetics in their cows and follows up with the right bull you can have your cake and eat it too. Why do people still buy big cows? Got to be an over dose of testosterone. :lol: Regardless if it is right or wrong, the replacement breeder must satisfy the buyer. I can tell you that their attitudes are changing. [/QUOTE]
