[QUOTE="dun, post: 784296, member: 34"] We used an old time angus bull Northlander, for a number of years. Calves were all 2-3 weeks early and weighed in the 45-55 lb range. Looked like a bunch of little dogs out with the cows. At weaning they had almost caught everyone else, as yearlings they out weighed them and outsized them, 7 plus frame. But those calves took a lot of groceries to get from weaning to butcher or yealring growth. We used 6I6 a copule of times and his calves were all 2-3 plus weeks early and tiny. But they grew like weeds and outweighed most of their contemporarys at weaning. They also finished in the feedlot a month or more earlier then the others. [/QUOTE]
