[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 138600, member: 2653"] I would have liked him a little longer also; he was the best of the group. My dad and I spent about an hour picking him out of about 20 other weanling age bulls. I am supplementing both of the bulls pictured with what our local Feed Service Mill calls "stocker grower" which is a 14% pelletized feed. I do think that you may be right about 14 heifers with this young bull. I may take a 2 or 3 of the more "angus" looking heifers and put in the pasture with the bull in the background and my other brangus cows. I know his BW EPD is low, and I think he could more easily handle 24 cows at 27 months old than the young bull could handle 14 heifers at 13 months' age. Thanks for the comments. [/QUOTE]
