[QUOTE="redcowsrule33, post: 641784, member: 8629"] Had 2 bull calves out of him last year - one 115# one 125#. Biggest one is out of a cow that always has 100#+ BW, other one averages 80-90# most years. Last year BW on all calves up 10#. This year was even colder, makes me worried a little.... Anyhoo, the both had contracted tendons where I haven't had any in years. Straightened out ok. 125#er looneyer than a box of corn flakes. Dam has good disposition, no problems w/other calves. Nice looking boys, hated to castrate the lighter wt one, real sweetheart, beautiful calf, probably best simmi I've raised but that BW was too high. Was excited to castrate the nutty one (I guess now he's lost some of his nuts :lol2:) Might use him again but it would be on a mature cow w/ proven low BW. Loved the looks just too heavy. [/QUOTE]
