[QUOTE="Willow Springs, post: 715009, member: 9002"] I think you better do a bit more reading and maybe listen to his seminars a little more closely (if you have been to one), and not listening to what everyone else tells you. I have heard him say that a 900 or 1000 lb cow would be even more profitable on a per acre basis [u][b]IF[/b][/u] they would be accepted in the commodity beef market system, but I have never heard him advocate doing that unless you were going to direct market. I haven't seen any of his herdsires with a frame below 2.5, with most being in the 3.5 to 4.5 range. Good thick 3-4.5 frame cows are going to weigh 1150-1350 lbs in good condition; thats a long ways from 1000 lb cows. [/QUOTE]
