[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1017588, member: 20580"] Some nice looking calves Jim. Curious what the breeding is on the dam and calf side and how much did he weigh at birth? We leave all our bull calves intact until after weaning. Everything is weighed and ratioed at weaning then we decide which to cut. Typically anything over 100 ratio that did not weigh 90+ lbs at birth we will look over good and determine if they are good enough to feed out as a bull. Last year our standout bull calf out of a first calf heifer you could tell early on he was going to be the top bull calf and he easily has been our top performing bull of the calf crop at 116 weaning ratio and 111 as a yearling. Probably will use him ourselves to replace our current herd sire if he's not sold. [/QUOTE]
