[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 697016, member: 1683"] spinandslide- This is a very difficult question to even attempt to answer, - as a matter of fact - NO ONE should even try to answer it because there are too many unknowns to venture a guess! What are the specifications of the cows to be mated? What are the EPD's of the dam of the weanling son? What are her Phenotype and Functional traits? What are the OTHER Characteristrics and Traits of the "Weanling" son? What Characteristics are YOU seeking for your particular herd goals? What particular factors does this weanling' bull possess that encourages you to make him a MAJOR part of your herd? Your considering buying this young bull is what I regard as "Ethereal" planning, and not enough solid preparatory study has been done to reveal enough information to justify the purchase. He may be okay, but in all reality, you don''t really KNOW that he fits your needs! You just THINK that he might. The purchase of a bull necessitates a lot of organized work and thought to jusify the action, because he will dictate the future and potential profit of your business for YEARS in the future. A "Weanling" bull is NOT a wise choice, however qualified you may think he might be. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
