[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1549471, member: 37967"] Here is her son, out of SAV Harvestor a -2 CED bull, the calf in this photo is exactly 159 days old, no creep feeder, just grass and milk, and a few bites that he would get out of the bunk feeder while the cows are eating a small ration of grain daily. In other words, he is not being stuffed with feed. If I had him on a creep feeder with a high protein mix, I could have had him significantly bigger than he was in this photo. We really like SAV Harvestor, but I have sons of SAV International (Harvestor's son) under development, and they seem to be gaining even faster than the SAV Harvestor son.
