[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1459391, member: 22295"] The same can be said about the bull I retained last year. He weaned off his mother at 8 months at 1000 pounds with no extra feed except for being on wheat pasture with his mother the last 6 weeks. That was because we had excess wheat last year. Since he has been on grass and then starting June 1st was turned in with the cows just a week after his y/o birthdate and been breeding cows since. He is around 1,500 now. Was over 1,250 at a y/o. He won't receive any extra feed.His first calves will arrive in March. If they don't perform he will be culled just like one we buy. We've had too many issues with those high powered overfed bulls that we have decided to keep and develop some of our own that we know what the mothers are and that have proven they can handle our conditions. We are saving one this year also. He will run on wheat as long as we have it and then around June 1st go to the breeding pasture but no extra feed otherwise. [/QUOTE]
