Indeed the site has gone down hill. All one needs to do is look at the cattle in the classifieds, you will be lucky to find one high quality animal in 5 pages. When the classifieds are loaded with sale barn calves that people truly think are show calves you know theres no need to read any posts.
I have seen I80 and Choppin Wood in person. I can't imagine I80 downsizing anything, that one has plenty of leg under him. Choppin Wood is a dink and might work but your cattle had better be super square hipped as he himself is far from it. As far as a sure fire downsizer your best bet is most...
I saw him last Tuesday at Hawkeye. He is perfectly sound and crazy good. Moderate sized, I would guess him about 50 inches or so. Should be a cow changer and work on plain common cows and the clubby type.
