[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14216"] With a Brangus cow, you have a cross between a Brahma bull and an Angus cow...or vice versa? Half big, have small (hmmm...) Agreed on the first calf heifer aspect especially because of the Angus factor. However, the truth would be in the EPDs of the bull. I looked at the birth weight of the Limousin bull I used on my first-calf Limousin heifers. He weighed 74 pounds. So far, the calves have been smaller... I have calving problems because of my over-conditioning the heifers. If you ever get hold of a multiple breed catalog (from an AI supplier, etc.) you will find that Angus bulls weigh big time when they are born, too... seems to depend on individual animal. How old is the bull you bought? My dad just sold a five year old bull that started throwing 100 pound calves... but he didn't start out that way, and I don't know what his EPDs were....
