[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 139288, member: 245"] I would say that whether you use him or not has more to do with what your objectives are than anything. If you say that your current cow herd represents where you are, the bull you use should represent where you want to go. If you had large cows and were planning on retaining your heifers this might be the right bull for you. If you have smaller cattle and like them that way and are going to retain your heifers, but are worried about frame creep from using a larger bull, this might be the right bull for you. However, if you are a cow/calf producer and you buy your replacements, as long as you have a bull that produces calves that have a moderate birth weight, you should be focusing on maximizing your weaning weights and if this bull doesn't do that, then he probably isn't the right bull for you. JMHO. [/QUOTE]
