Two other points of consideration:
1. Breed - Brangus bulls will sire a calf that is born more streamlined at the head and shoulders than a hereford for example. So IMO, if I were buying a bull I would consider the breed of bull when looking at weight.
2. Location where born - It's a proven fact that the more north you go, the heavier the calves weigh. Also spring calves will weigh more than fall calves. So a fall calved bull in the south weighing 100 pounds could be trouble waiting...
