[QUOTE="mind235, post: 446487, member: 6754"] I have questions kind of down this road. I have this bull calf well for 4 more days anyway. He was born in late april and hit the scales just under 600. He was a bad boy and will not stay in the fences which is why he is so heavy the field ext door is much better thats why he out grew everyone. Decided he is goinng tohurt soomething getting out every morning and night. So making a trade for his mother which should be bred he was her 2nd calf and the first was a good one. I am also taking a 500 pound heifer that is from her sister and they were both great milkers. Here is the question the bull that would have should have better have covered the cow was put iin the pasture at 13-14 months old at probally 900-1000 pounds and stayed for 4 months. If the calf from them turns out to be less than perfect how strong will any of the potential in perfections be for the calf that will come when I breed her in 09. Or will getting a good bull make up for any of the problems. How about the deal I give to man 600# bull and I get bred cow and 500 I get real nice 500# heifer calf and I pay $575 . Since the cow I am getiing was the mother of the bull I know she is a good one and the calf is fro the sister of the cow also a good milker and momma. What ya think geed deal or a square deal???
