[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1577161, member: 19683"] Our old vet had seen some mature dairy bulls at 3300lbs years ago. Those were HUGE! If you look for a breeding bull, it's better to keep in mind your own cows' size and not go overboard just wanting to have a very big bull. If a bull is smaller than 2000lbs, it doesn't mean that his calves won't grow well enough. Had one limo abit over 1800lbs, but he never been overfed and had to work since pretty young age, so he hasn't reached what he would have been able to with a very good feed. His calves can grow really well with a good feed. [/QUOTE]
