[QUOTE="tigeralumni2011, post: 1130057, member: 22333"] I have a set of xbred heifers that will calve this fall - bred to an Angus bull. I'm thinking of purchasing a Braford bull from a reputable farm - I know the bulls dam and sire (both are solid)....I won't "need" a bull until next April as I'm planning on rotating these 1st calf heifers into a spring calving schedule. I'm purchasing this bull now as a yearling because I believe I can maintain him for a year and still have less $$$$$ in him rather than trying to a 2year old next spring. This bull weighed 85# @ birth. Any comments or criticism? Background: Heifers are medium size -- will make mature cows weighing 1075-1200# Minimal Brahman influence -- I Plan on keeping any heifers off him -- Thanks for any input [/QUOTE]
