[QUOTE="okiek, post: 1677225, member: 32214"] Got to my south place yesterday and found a yearling, horned, black Maine bull in with my commercial Red Angus heifers. He's back where he belongs now but we think he had been with my heifers 3 days. Let's assume for argument he bred several. I know nothing about Maines except what I've seen in show rings. I realize each individual will have differing EPD's. This is a commercial youngster and all they knew was, "His daddy had small calves." As a whole, how worried would those of you who know the breed be about this pairing come calving time? Right now my only option for Lutalyse would be a dart gun. I'd have to shoot all 12 heifers (And buy a dart gun) and I'm just trying to decide if I really should. My herd is 100% commercial, so other than uniformity I don't lose anything, and actually gain heterosis. Calving problems would be the only reason for me to dart every heifer. [/QUOTE]
