[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1631143, member: 24565"] When a dry cow looks like that I sort of know what she'll look like when she calves. I do not want that, I would cull if it was mine and would not pay or breed to get it. I assume we are looking at the dam. Once again we learn the hard, cruel lesson of early development and over development of bulls. If you want feedlot type performance and data, feed and kill sib steers. If you want bulls with function and longevity, develop slowly but consistently. Kids are no different. Early entry into sports has raised a rash of injuries to kids; some permanent. It is recognized and warning are out there. On bulls, it seems the answer is buffer the feed to prevent rumen issues and the more gain the merrier. Either learn the lessons, complain that the great ones melted away in your pasture or salvage the injured young bulls for burgers. All things have limits. [/QUOTE]
