[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 460121, member: 1604"] From the heifers. I don't advocate developing bulls under TOTALLY optimum conditions, but when forage is short, (like here now in the past 3 years) a little grain supplementation in no way decreases his ability to cover cows efficiently. My opinion might be to develop bulls like their calves will be "developed" in the feedlot, and develop heifers like their replacement daughters will be in the pasture. If they both work, it's the best of two worlds. It's the best of both worlds that we all must include ourselves in. I've seen grassfed bulls fall apart just as I've seen grainfed bulls fall apart. Like I said........it's a myth......... [/QUOTE]
