[QUOTE="novatech, post: 716529, member: 5494"] A feed lot needs cattle that end up fitting the box when they are finished, unless they are all going for hamburger. So does the moderate bull have to be fed longer to fit the box? Or the other way, does the larger bull stay on feed for less time? The end result is that we as individuals have to breed for calves that fit the box according to whatever our personal market demands. It really does not have anything to do with what is right or wrong. If my buyer wants a 1600 pound cow that is what I will produce until he is educated enough to want the 11 or 1200 pound cow. I have seen a lot of slow changes in the cattle industry and am I certain I will see more. [/QUOTE]
