[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 460008, member: 1604"] I have just the opposite view. Most of the guys here want fat bulls because it will give the bulls some reserve after turnout and they can be assured that the bulls had enough food to develop them to their genetic potential. When properly developing a bull, the muscle goes on first and the fat goes on last. ALL yearling bulls (and two year olds too) will lose weight when turned in with cows the first time, just depends on the length of time, how many cows, as to how much they lose. They had rather chase cows and breed them numerous times than eat. Bulls never forget how to graze even when they are grainfed. It's a normal instinct that cannot be bred out of them. [/QUOTE]
