[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1718920, member: 24816"] You could go the timed AI method with shots and CIDRS. If everything lines up just right that in theory would probably be the way to go. We however have not had good results with that at all, but it could have been timing or other issues. The heifers being 18 months old should have good size and might do ok with the bull especially if you are able to watch them close if assistance is needed. If the bull is an Angus, there is a good chance that he is low birthweight or around average, which should be ok under most circumstances. There is however a chance that he has some more powerful growth genetics in his background which could present problems. [/QUOTE]
