[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1707119, member: 21194"] I agree about getting a calving ease bull, but only if you're going to breed them to calf at 2 years old. You said earlier you plan to put a bull with them when they're 2. If that's still your plan I'll reiterate what I said above. Don't worry about birthweight, and get a bull that will throw solid calves that will bring good money. When you chase low birthweight you will often get low weaning weight also. Yup. Some of them look like they could be F1 Brahman x Hereford, which should make excellent cows. I also see one or two that could be F1 Angus x Brahman instead of true Brangus, which were originally 5/8 Angus and 3/8 Brahman. [/QUOTE]
