[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1536815, member: 22295"] We used FB Corriente bulls on heifers for 3 years and then last year used 1/2 bloods. Had very good results. Only pulled one calf out of the half bloods this year and that was solely because we had a place to be and didn't have time to wait and see if she would have it. And in the 3 years that we used the FB's I would say we may of pulled 3-5. Not many for sure and didn't have any issues with those that we did. We have big framed heifers that were mainly weighing 1,250 or more when they calved. Got docked a little but not bad. Some were decent calves. We butchered one because he was colored and we knew he would be docked. He hung 835 lbs. So many of ours had some frame and weren't that small. Being that I'm retiring and will be around this year we used a young Angus bull we raised. If we have any issues we will go back to the 1/2 bloods. The sire of the bull we used this year was a good heifer bull so hoping his son is also. [/QUOTE]
