[QUOTE="CKC1586, post: 563434, member: 816"] For sure. I agree with you dun. This has been an odd year with higher than normal birth weights on March calves, this seems to have happened across many breeds in our area. One of my mentors and I were having the discussion and he was planning on banding some bull calves that are outside his normal tolerance, there is one little guy that was an ET and weighed in at 120# and he is beautiful. I think he is going to the steer pen, I was questioning since his genetics suggest he should be a good calver, is it really a risk to use him. I have seen some heavy birth weight bulls (ETs) that do a fine job. [/QUOTE]
