[QUOTE="East Caney, post: 736154, member: 2960"] I'd just like to clarify that I do not own any of these animals. Each of them are currently owned by their breeders who are as follows: 1. Lasater Ranch Beefmasters (founding herd) 2. Buster Beefmasters 3. Frenzel Beefmasters 4. Salt Creek Beefmasters There have been statements concerning the profitability and size of these animals. I have seen or have knowledge of bulls selling out of three of these cows that have certainly made money...up to $7,000+. I personally don't have cows as big as these. At the same time, I don't consider them too big. In my opinion, their frame size is acceptable. I think they're all heavy-bodied, but that is my preference. I want to really have to search for a bull that can maintain or increase thickness in my cows. Also, I'm wondering if everyone's preference of the #2 cow has to do with the lack of Brahman influence she exhibits. She is, by far, the cleanest throughout the neck, brisket, and underline. Doc referenced #2 as possibly the best phenotypically then stated that she probably would not produce the best calf. #4 who has as much girth as any, in my opinion, was regarded as lacking functional traits. I'd like to hear more thoughts. I'm intrigued by the discussion. Thanks to all who have commented thus far. EC [/QUOTE]
