[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1237922, member: 18809"] Very nice bull Highgrit. People are going to bash what ever breed they choose, so no worries. I always say the proof is in the pudding. The sire of Margo's calf, and several others at my place, was sold last fall to a wonderful family that is running him on cows. Just because Inyeti has a high birth weight calf among MANY does not mean the bull is a bad bull. I am glad I collected him before he left my place, I plan on using every straw. His calves are extremely nice, and show potential for growth. Here is a sample of some of his calves: Heifer calf [img]http://i61.tinypic.com/35d8gi9.jpg[/img] two of these calves are his, both heifers: [img]http://i58.tinypic.com/30acacj.jpg[/img] Brownish calf laying down, again heifer [img]http://i61.tinypic.com/2ro2e13.jpg[/img] Only bull calf we have gotten out of him, 68 pounds if I remember correctly [img]http://i58.tinypic.com/2daei6b.jpg[/img] Heifer calf that was breech and had to pull, but in 70's birth weight [img]http://i60.tinypic.com/2s7ezog.jpg[/img] And of course, his first calves, a set of twins that were small. They are now 4 months old and weigh over 400 pounds each, no grain.
