[QUOTE="redcowsrule33, post: 784275, member: 8629"] So.... this was a learning experience. I went out to the herd and picked three cows I considered to be "moderate" and the size I liked to see. Then I picked my "short" cows and the "too tall" cows and measured hip heights. Wow. My moderate, target cow is a 6-6.5 frame. Much larger than I thought. Too tall was 8. :shock: My "short" cows were 5 frame. My cows are small compared to my dad's, which would probably all be 7 frame and above. I knew they were massive cows but I guess I never realized how massive. Will this exercise change my mind about my target? No, these are the cows that are doing well in my husbandry situation and are obviously efficient enough, as we do not grain them and pasture except for this year has been poor due to drought. But I think I'll be a bit less critical of my short cows. [/QUOTE]
