[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1128905, member: 9096"] 300 lbs is darned light, they may take quite some time to get to breeding size... How old are they? Rather than trying to breed them as early as possible and putting huge emphasis on a calving ease bull, I'd probably rather keep them open a few months longer and have a better bull selection available. I think they were weaned too early, and/or came from not very good milking cows, perhaps heifers themselves. I do think putting a jersey or longhorn bull on them would be a bit of a waste of a calf, especially if you had to buy the bull to do it... I think waiting until they're a correct size and using a brangus or angus bull on them would both provide you with a uniform calf crop and a more valuable one. My two cents worth.. and welcome :) [/QUOTE]
