[QUOTE="talltimber, post: 1368738, member: 22236"] Could you break that down for me a little further? I am taking it as the type of bull someone chooses, indicates what they have to work with at home? Do you run the same bull on heifers and cows (or at least the same bw range)? A little background from my end. My cows are no problem (I had a dead calf but is an anomaly here out of my old cows). My herd bull throws little calves. I would breed my two y.o. and the yearlings to him if he wasn't so heavy on a cow. He lays on them. So, either I risk putting him on my two yo and maybe putting a LH on the yearlings, or I try to find a yearling bull to put on both of those groups. I am leaving a few calves bulls this time, choosing out of a few of my best cows, some as old as 10 yo that I will pick calves from, that still have their tails and hold their weight/handle the heat well. My bull is 8 yo and dread finding a replacement. He holds his weight really well and has only had one sore foot issue since I bought him 3 years ago. I think he hurt it on frozen ground, spreading his toes out excessively, no foot rot/fescue foot I don't think. [/QUOTE]
