[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1396477, member: 24027"] And yet I just bought 2 calving ease bulls (+16 & +14), one with a very low birth weight (prob 68 lbs) for my heifers. I'd rather have small, LIVE calves & heifers and let the mamas grow 'em. We don't creep but cube year 'round (minuscule amount during peak grazing) so all the calves are already eating them by the time we wean. [b]Average[/b] wean weight at 6 months is 580 - 650 but I have a couple of cows that will wean over 800 lbs, all bred by LBW calving ease bulls. Average BCS of my cows is a good 6, some 7, and I have to admit we have a 9 (who calves like clockwork). Just my :2cents: And no, we don't purchase bulls with a known genetic defect. [/QUOTE]
