[QUOTE="angusdave63, post: 908028, member: 14945"] it is not only the breed index but the contemporary group that goes into figuring this. i had a bc marathon son and he has never sired a calf over 72 pounds, and he has a + 2.5 bw and almost all of his calves are 60 to 70 pounds at birth. with that said i would never keep a calf for a bull with a bw over 90 pounds. but you have to remember that those cows up north go through colder winters than cattle in the midwest and southern states. and that adds a little to the bw.
