[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 714009, member: 7645"] ~True, but for the feedlot too make money their price has too account for the calf that dies, the calf that gets sick and doesn't grow out, the calf who never grades, the calf who grows out good but converts at 10:1, the calf who bloats and has to be culled, the calf who puts on too much fat, and the calf that won't fit in packer specs. Sure if you wean at six months a lot of order buyers won't recognize that frame 1 calf; but the feedlot that placed that order for 400 lb calves knows that too and they are going too make everybody pay a small dock to make up for all the surprises they know they are going too find in that potbelly load of calves. I FAVOR moderate framed cows and most of the nation's ranches would make more money (or at least lose less) with smaller cows. All I am saying is too beware the extremes. [/QUOTE]
