[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1532447, member: 27490"] No problems so far with the bulls from here that are out producing calves. I do cull bulls that are over 100 pounds. The bulls here have good EPDs for CE and BW. You are right on Broadway about "breeding two big animals" but most of the matings don't fit that characterization. In fact, most of the bulls I use are smaller framed - Cowboy Cut, Elevate, Uno Mas, 1143Y, Grandmaster, etc. The ones that caused my birthweight average to move higher are the Broadways, Upgrades, etc. My birthweight trend with Fire Sweep's help has been going down the last 2 years. Now this year, it went back up. Maybe it was the colder, longer than normal winter. To address this year's trend, I am dropping Broadway totally from my lineup and limiting Upgrade. [/QUOTE]
