Looks like he could run for the triple crown.

He still gained almost 600lbs from weaning to yearling...

He looks like one of those long legged steers that had a spare ball.

Seeing where he was raised, and gaining 3 1/2 lbs per day from yearling to 15 months, my money would be on feed bucket. :cboy:

With all the feed in the world, do any of you think you could match those numbers with your cattle? I sure don't.

And I mean that as a compliment to their genetics, not claiming they're lying.

his dam may have been near a ton, in that case, she is just doing an average job. I have seen many so called 1200 lb cows cross the scales at 1600.

 

[Massey135]

Or she might not have been. At what bcs do you consider the 50% weaning weight?

1600 and fat (7+) isn't that big of a cow. That's a 1300 lb cow in pasture shape.

you want to see crummy... just wait till someone retains females sired by him... they'll need to follow em around with a truck picking up the pieces that fall off

50% at weaning cow in 5-6 BCS

While that bull is nice, I wouldn't use him on my cattle.

Say a 1200lb cow weans a 600lb calf and a 1000lb cow weans a 500lb calf. I'll use the #s for the high selling calves at each weight in Durant last Thursday. 501lb @ 1.44 = $721.44 and 600lb @ $1.35 = $810.

I think those two cows will eat the same amount just the 1000lb cow will be in a bcs of 6 while the 1200lber in a 5. There's no way it cost me $90 more to run that 1200lb cow.

The whole 50% weaning weight ideal is flawed anyway as there's no way a 2000lb cow eats exactly 2x as much as a 1000lb cow.

Not to mention that 600lb calf will have a higher adg in the lot.

Doesn't matter if those easier fleshing calves can convert 4:1 if they can only eat 15lbs a day.
