[QUOTE="Massey135, post: 941746, member: 17234"] Just going by my experience. We always used brahman bulls on our heifers growing up. And that rule of thumb youre referring to is only the case on an individual basis when breeding genetics A over genetics B and comparing to breeding B over A. You can't say that if I breed a 105lb bw hereford bull to my avg 75lb bw hereford cows that my calves will come smaller than if I breed those hereford cows to a 70lb bw brahman bull. Those f1 brahman sired calves will undoubtedly come smaller at birth. Now if both the hereford and brahman bull had 70lb bws, you're right the brahman sired calves would prolly come bigger. [/QUOTE]
