[QUOTE="Cormac, post: 558427, member: 3980"] Dropped off my registered angus bull calf only 2 weeks ago in perfect shape and 840#s (on grass only). This was my first bull I ever put on test. My association does hundreds per year so I was comfortable. It was exciting for me to drop him off (again my first bull ever) and even kidded the guys to take care of my baby boy. Prior to dropping him off he was growing fine at my place and looked better with each passing day. I dreamed of what he might look like 400# heavier as a yearling. Apparently he bloated. They tried but... On paper he had it all, CED @11, low birth weight @ 1.0, weaning @ 56, yearling @ 104, milk @ 26, $B @ 56, IMF and RE should both have been about both at 50. It really stinks, and I am really saddened, and realize there is no recourse for me. Of course, there are many signs that say not responsible, bla, bla, bla.. In anger, I think to myself what that means: not responsible or not [i]very [/i]responsible. It is not fun taking these hits as I am small operation 20 head. Had to vent thanks for listening.
