[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 438135, member: 4353"] 39 at 11 months is almost the other extreme, I have a bull calf right now that is 39 at 11 months and he is way bigger than his peers and my herd's SC is far above breed average. but then most of my bulls are developed on pasture with no grain if the grazing is good or very little grain if the grazing is poor. according to James Drayson, who wrote the book "Herd bull Fertility" 36-40 cm for breeding age bulls is ideal, over 40 is the extreme and should be avoided. As long as my bulls pass a BSE and is within the acceptable limits in their classification, and they are well formed I pay little attention to actual size for age. [/QUOTE]
