[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 784852, member: 968"] Frame size does NOT indicate that they have " capacity, depth, muscling, whatever to wean off a good sized calf". A frame 3 can have those traits and a frame 7 can also. Frame size is strickly HEIGHT. Moderate for me would be 5.5 to 6.5. When we had our 9 frame cows, we had one calf wean at 205 day wt of 905#. Most of our cows are around 6 frame (maybe as low as 5 and as big as 7) - our male calves averaged 735# at 205 day wt. I'm real happy with that - no creep. Heifers were 635#. [/QUOTE]
