[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1129064, member: 9096"] I'd be weary of a Char bull.. Perhaps if you were AI'ing from a well known calving ease sire I'd go with it. Around here, my heifers are usually in the 900-1000 lb range at breeding (14 months) and they do well for me, but they also had good milk for 8 months and were 650+ lbs at weaning... Being weaned around the 300 lb range I believe is too early for them. If you're buying the bull, I'd chose a good balance between BW, calving ease, and growth, and Angus or Brangus would be my choices given what you are starting with, and that way you can keep him for a few years... If anything I'd delay breeding to accomodate that bull. two more cents for you :) [/QUOTE]
