Subject: RE: Cow Efficiency

Here is my question...with cow efficiency and size. Everyone says you can run 100, 1200 pound cows or roughly 89, 1350 pound cows on the same amount of grass because the total pounds equal 120,000 total weight. Doesn't it take more grass just to sustain life for the 1200 cows. Like how much energy is required just to keep the heart beating and blood flowing. Or weather extremes such as blizzards and extreme heat. I would think 100 vs. 89 would take way more energy just to maintain. I'm not doubting that you can't run more 1200 vs 1350 but is it exactly pound for pound. Hope I am getting my point so that you can understand. Granted there are a lot of more factors that play into this but is there any actual data that can support what I am trying to say.
