Small cows are small genetically but may have high metabolism, large cows may have low metabalism. Have any of you guys seperated your small cows (1000 lbs and under) from your large cows (1200 and over)? IMO you would be surprised how small the differance in feed cunsumption really is. Yes I have bigger cows and do like them, seems they handle our cold winters on lower quality feed.
