[QUOTE="dun, post: 555158, member: 34"] That's the most important part as far as I'm concerned. If he is a terminal bull and you aren;t going to retain ownership of the calves, a larger framed bull may be just the ticket. We retain ownership on a lot of calves, either 50% or 100% depending on the market. Retaining ownership throws a whole nuther turd in the punchbowl, as does retaining heifers. Our buyers want a large medium or small large framed calf with a high number 2 or a 1 for muscle. With our herd, 6-6.5 frame bulls work well. The smaller framed bulls give us calves that sell a bit lower because of the frame even though they're the same muscle. [/QUOTE]
