[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1387491, member: 25884"] I am not near as knowledgeable as many of the others here with the very involved questions about percentages and all that you are asking. But one thing I can see: you said this bull calf has all the right things behind him, and he is younger due to the cow being flushed previously, smaller due to her having some health issues and not having decent feed to make milk on, and on top of it he was having to take what was left after a 15 mo old heifer was getting what should have been his main source of food....How in the world can you compare him to others and then find him wanting???? Now he is going through a growth spurt and seems to be catching up....If he has everything that you basically like, and did decent considering his first 6 months, and is now doing better, what are you questioning??? I think you are trying to find a reason to not like him and yet you can't. Technically your neighbor is right. They are weanlings until they hit a year then they are yearlings, regardless of whether they are taken off at 5 mos, 7 mos. or 10 months. [/QUOTE]
