[QUOTE="govols, post: 1428241, member: 20970"] I've lurked here for awhile but never posted much. I'm a hobby guy by the way. I recently bought a few registered BA cow/calf pairs at our state agribition sale. The little experience I have is with commercial cattle. I'm not trying to get into the bull business but I'd hate to cut one really nice bull calf I have. He's a 10x son and looks really nice for a 8 month old bull calf. I'm estimating he's 750-800lbs right now and had nothing but grass since I've had him. I bought the pair on 3/11. The problem is everyone around here wants LBW bulls with high CED. I'll list his numbers and tell me what you think. Should I keep him or cut him. Actual BW 65lbs CED -2 BW +2 WW +59 YW + 107 RADG +25 CW + 47 MARB + 93 RE + 29 Fat -.045 Maternal side stinks but he should make a lot of beef! I know numbers aren't everything but what would y'all do? [/QUOTE]
