[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1763792, member: 9933"] Get the bull you like the best. I don't think the weight of the bull makes much difference. I have had 4 month old, 400 pound heifers settle to 2000 pound bulls, and I never saw a sign they had been mounted. Obviously this is not something anyone wants to happen, but it has happened here. If you watch an athletic bull mount and breed a cow, you will notice it happens fast and the bull will put very little weight on the cows back. Most of the weight is carried by the bull on his hind legs. I have seen a few bulls lean heavily on the cow, almost knocking her down. In my case, these were older bulls that I expect were developing issues that affected soundness in their hindquarters. They were culled. [/QUOTE]
