[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1784688, member: 16453"] I would think that is a very subjective figure subject to a lot of variation as to age and the amount of feed put into them. I can only speak with regard to Angus and I mainly use young bulls. The 2 yr old bull I used last year got away from me a bit weight wise as I had him with some yearlings I was developing and he ended up at 960kg (2116 lbs) at 26 months of age. If he were in an AI facility getting fed and a few more years on him I would think he would easily reach the mark of 2500 lbs and that would apply to most of my bulls. A genuinely big bull that was put out to work and kept fit might sit more around the 1000kg (2200 lb) even as he aged. Ken [/QUOTE]
