[QUOTE="redfornow, post: 196704, member: 1580"] Steve I have played this game before an lost. When you say your first calf crop is on the ground, how many calfs? What time of year? Cross or reg? Hybrid vigor doesnt start at birth. I dont know what others think, but I can tell you I would need 20 to 25 on the ground before I started playing games, I have been there done that got the t-shirt. lol Our bull thru about the same numbers 60 to 80 lbs, but it was a small group, I dont remember the numbers but around ten head. Well his big calfs started to show up on the heifers. lol That made for a sorry six weeks in a mans life, luckly we didnt lose a heifer but it really messed up a pretty good group for us. They didnt rebreed, lost some calfs and alot of sleep. Lesson learned, those calf ease bulls have their place and should be used. AI those bad boys and chose a bull with high CE acc. Good luck in whatever you decide to do. MD PS I wouldnt wish what we went thru on an enemy, I am sure others her have made the same mistake and know what I mean. [/QUOTE]
