[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1458666, member: 22072"] We go through a lot of bulls. I wont say it never happens, but we'll run up to 5 bulls in a herd and if one bull is related to a couple cows, the likelihood of him breeding them is so low. This red bull was just outstanding in his growth. Wished he were black, but when you get the giant weaners out of him, color doesn't matter much. This is his first full crop and I know there are at least 4 pushing 800....the rest are well over 600...We'll keep most heifers out of him this year. Last year he managed to produce a few, and we kept the 2 heifers out of him. They are now bred for a spring calf and are as big as most of our mature cows. The only way we'd not keep them is if they produced small to average weanlings... They have to wean a 6+ calf for their size. Luckily, they are short cows and not the long legged simbra type...
