[QUOTE="branguscowgirl, post: 1140043, member: 19938"] True but you need to remember if you grow them too fast you are risking structural soundness later. Those "brothers and sons" going on the rail don't have to stay sound for very long. The retained bull does not only have to work for a living but stay sound doing it for a longer period of time. Therefor fast excessive growth is not good for long term function. IMHO there is too much emphasize placed on early growth in these breeding bulls. I am not saying that they don't need to have "good growth", I am saying that I frown upon "excessive growth" in the first 2 years. [/QUOTE]
