[QUOTE="Suzie Q, post: 919084, member: 14334"] Awww Thank you Gelbvieh 5. I didn't read your post before I posted. What I said about the birthweights only comes from what I believe and from my experience - that being very young bulls who only start with their first year of breeding. Kept a year or two and then replaced with another young one. I have never had an older bull than that, so couldn't comment if they keep getting bigger after their second breeding year as I have no experience with it. One of the reasons I picked a Bazadais bull is because of their advertising low birth weights. Some of the calves really do look tiny when they are born. Extra muscling kicks in in the first month and then they appear a bit bigger. I used to get photos of the calves from Day 1, but alas a full time job now and now there are calves there that I don't see until they are a few weeks old and some I haven't even photographed. My hubby is looking after them now and he isn't really interested in photography. I really do need to pull my finger out and catch up with it again. It is pitch black out there at the moment and it will probably be dark when I am home during the week with me working from 8am - 5pm and winter approaching. Aaah well weekends will have to suffice. Well enough of my babbling. You can go back to the topic now!! :compute: [/QUOTE]
