[QUOTE="Rookie, post: 120018, member: 817"] Well Kane, we be raisin baby bulls we buy from a couple local dairies, so I can only speak for Holsteins. Are the calves what come from seasoned cows nicer than first calf heifers? If ya mean better, Absolutely not! Are they bigger? yep. A little stronger? yep. But better? Not that we can see.Maybe take em a bit longer ta get goin, which is a downpoint as far as some be concerned, depends on what ya target be. Most dairy men AI and select semen from easy calvin bulls for their first time girls especially, this usually be what accounts for the smaller, narrower bodied calves. But they do just fine and at 3 months it be difficult ta tell the difference. george [/QUOTE]
