[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1437258, member: 24816"] I certainly have no experience with Angus in Texas, but have used Angus bulls for a few years, and have a few registered cows. I like the bulls from the standpoint of calving ease, and calf hardiness, to me that can go a long way even if they don't grow quite as much. The cows seem to be pretty good mother's and milk well. My main issue may not be as important to others, it is disposition and ease of handling. Used to raise Charolais, and average weights of straight bred calves were high 700's -800's. We did have have some calving issues, and some calves were big and slow to get going. On average our Angus calves will weigh in at high 500's -mid 600's. [/QUOTE]
