[QUOTE="novatech, post: 840196, member: 5494"] In the purebred business if one must select a bull specifically for the use of breeding first calf heifers then it is obvious that the bull may not fit the goals intended for the rest of the herd. Although these calves would be salable, wouldn't this fact alone make most of the calves culls as far as the this particular herd is concerned? I agree that there are those bulls within most breeds that are capable of producing low birth weights and high weaning weights. These genetics and all other good genetics are usually well advertised. What always bothers me is what they do not tell you. What other genetics are tagging along that you may not want in your herd? [/QUOTE]
