[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1476194, member: 16453"] Here are a couple of my bull calves. They were born early July, they are not due to be weaned until the end of March but I guess I will have to wait and see how they behave themselves if my heifer calves start coming in season shortly but I should be OK as Lucky reckons Angus heifers are flat out coming on heat by joining time as yearlings. I hope your right Lucky, that would be a great management tool. I have done videos of them as I believe it gives you more of a walk around them to see from different angles. This 1st one is by SAV Renown he went 295kg a week ago. This is his mother's 4th calf her 1st 3 were heifers that weaned near the top I have kept 2 of them. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqVk_TMd7Pg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqVk_TMd7Pg[/url] This next one is by GAR Prophet, he is my heaviest at 354kg. Some people don't like the rapidly growing ones, I do. I like the cows to have a bit of milk and the calves to have a good 200 day weight to take advantage of the grass over summer. Around here everyone sells their calves at the beginning of autumn at big local weaner sales at a premium to what the regular market would achieve.
