[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1763795, member: 24027"] I'm saying, get the bull you want to enhance your operation. Are you looking for a terminal bull or primarily calving ease? While it's nice to have a yearling bull on your yearling heifers, what are you going to do with him the next year? Move him up to the cows or keep him as a heifer bull? Cuz he's gonna continue to grow & outweigh any subsequent retained heifers. That said, I agree that the weight of the bull should not be your primary concern. Do both bulls have similar EPD's? And what about the heifers? Mine have a minimum pelvic measurement of 150 at 11 months and turned out with a calving ease (not to be confused with low birth weight) bull at 15 months, should theoretically have a 75+ lb. calf unassisted at 24 months.
