[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 588296, member: 6713"] A lot of folks around here use them on their first calf (Angus) heifers. Then try to sell the calves before the Corriente starts showing up in them. Thus sticking the feedlot operators with a lot of garbage. Neighbor had one with 20 heifers. It jumped the fence this spring and was breeding one of our shorthorn cows(after it kicked the livin shyt out of our RA bull) We tried for an hour to separate it with the 4 wheelers then my partner went to the house and got the Wrist Rocket and a handfull of ball bearings. First shot between the eyes at 10 yds turned him for home and the next 7 or 8 shots in the rump kept him going the right way. He got moved the next day after the neighbor found his bull looking like he had been in a hornets nest. I guess he figured out that the next time he came home it would be without his own ball bearings. I know of one fellow who bred over a hundred heifers to calve in Jan. We got a bad cold spell first part of Feb and he had 3 week old calves freezing to death. Makes more sense to me to use low birth weight Angus bulls and pull the occasional calf, but the trend continues so who am I to argue. [/QUOTE]
