Frame size and bw aren't positively correlated.Just kidding, but I am curious as to whether you have any references to scientific studies showing there is no correlation? Or is this a guesstimation based on your experience?
Just my experience. Have had lots of brangus and Gert sired calves that came mid 60lbs out of prolly 10+ frame bulls. Only references I've found suggest there is a strong correlation between mature weight and bw but not frame score.
