[QUOTE="sjr725, post: 333539, member: 4936"] I agree with Sage, I'm not a particular fan of this bull or red angus in general but we have several low BW bulls that we put with 1st & 2nd calf heifers, and I have bulls with bw of 90-95, that I use on older cows - maybe we've just been lucky but only had to pull one calf last year and he was a breach - nothing to do with BW, I wouldn't automatically rule out a bull with many other good qualities just because he had a larger BW. I've got 88 on the ground at last count this year with about 250 left to go no problem so far. Our cow herd is good commercial stock, mostly herf - and I use registered herf bulls, we used to use charlois bulls but this will be the last year with thier calves - we just have better luck with the herfs - that said I have 20 or so herf x char cows that I wouldn't part with - great moms.
