[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 3706"] Well, here we go. Another chance for someone to yell "breed bashing". This is just my opinion based on MY knowledge. First of all, 600# sounds too small. A heifer should be 65% of her predicted mature weight. If Brangus cows only get to about 925# at mature size, then they are the right size. Second, I would have to guess that the Limo bull will have a mature size closer to 2000#. 3rd: Limo's are not know for easy calving and USUALLY are not recommended for heifers - of any breed. 4th: It strickly depends on the individual bull and individual females. BUT, putting a large framed breed bull on such a potential small cow/heifer is asking for trouble.
