[QUOTE="dun, post: 44143, member: 34"] My arm doesn't weigh 1800# so I can't say. Most of the folks around here that use live service use a younger bull on smaller heifers. I'ld be leery of the girls supporting that much weight too. Ask your vet and see what he thinks, or maybe there are folks on this forum that use large bulls on heifers. I'mm sure you'll get some rewsponses. I do know that 500# heifers can support a 1365# steer alright. But I've seen grown cows callapse under the thrust. Whether you feed them to higher weights for breeding is one of those individual managment decisions that circumstances dictate. dun [/QUOTE]
