[QUOTE="Rydero, post: 1567182, member: 38101"] That's why I switched to Char bulls for my blacks. Figured more lbs/hd would make it at least even out. The EPD crossbreed chart puts Char at +38lbs(above Angus) for WW, my +52lb WW Char is effectively a +90lb angus bull and hybrid vigor is kicking my calves in the azz to grow too. Reality has been better than theory in my case. The market report range for the weight class may be topped by a group of blacks but the vast majority of all calves in that range are black. Buyers can be more selective. I've found my calves get purchased consistently closer to the top in a narrower range and they're also heavier. No I'm not in the US but the same packers are buying them. [/QUOTE]
