[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1817393, member: 24027"] Well, [USER=7398]@angus9259[/USER], I am a little curious about your choice of using that bull, retaining heifers and end goal. But primarily because it's so different from mine. But I'm commercial, not registered. Is that a factor? And how old, weight/frame score is the aforementioned heifer? The bulls I buy (natural service, not AI) are high CE and CEM, huge docility, growth, etc. Cows I have & heifers I retain are from my best lineages and have longevity and a proven calving history. Heifers I retain should (theoretically) be able to calve a 70-75+ calf unassisted (I did have to pull a 105 lb heifer calf from a 1st calf heifer this year). Steers I sell average 700 lbs, heifers 600 weaned 45-60 days. But I'm always open to a different perspective. [/QUOTE]
