[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 524967, member: 637"] FCC, Those are some really good looking cattle you have. I do like the muscle they pack. They are huge as in muscle vs bone. With that kind of muscle, I would hate to see what kind of "nuts" they had to tote around to look in proportion to their build. A basketball between the legs would hinder breeding. I see in the other breeds, the higher carcass value, the smaller the scrotal size. A lot in the minus numbers. When I was looking for a high carcass value bull, it was extremely hard to find one average and find the other numbers close to average. I found one above average, but the milk was higher than I wanted. But the smaller scrotal bulls don't seem to be having trouble multiplying. Their babies are at every sale and seem to be in evey pasture. You talk about their udders being small with higher milk fat. I like a cow to give less milk. A calf needs a good start when he is born, but most of his growth is from the clover and what he eats. I hate to see a mama cow eat herself to death. I noticed that the calves with good quality food from a mamma cow that is a heavy milker and one that is a light milker, there is little difference in the growth, other than which one of the cows shrinks the most and which one takes longer to get back in condition. Your cattle are in really good shape too. Are you going to post any pictures of the calves from your bulls with the cows at your farm any time in the future? I am impressed with your operation. Thank you for posting your site. Chuckie [/QUOTE]
