FRAME SCORE What is the RIGHT ANSWER?
Everyone seems to have a strong opinion one way or the other in what the optimal frame size of a bull should be. First, any seedstock producer would agree frame scores is the most difficult and inaccurate data we collect annually. Cattle not standing perfectly in the chute among other challenges will greatly compromise the accuracy of frame size. Make no mistake, we value growth as much as anyone but in our eye’s growth traits are measured by the scale not by height. Likewise, the correlation between frame size and growth is not as highly correlated as one might suspect. Ultimately, research shows cattle who fall in the middle in regards to mature frame size are the most productive in terms of weaning off the highest percentage of calf versus their body weight. We are not attempting to sway customers one way or the other we have bulls in the offering who fall in a wide array of frame size. However, placing a high selection pressure on frame size as it relates to growth might not be the best answers for customers.
