in another post i told of my 2 bulls weaning weights. one was 579 the other was 627lbs. the smaller bull was a twin- but its twin was taken off of the cow. these were both from first calf heifers. how do these weights sound??? they were sired by calving ease bulls with negative birthweight #'s.
the smaller one by 6i6 and the larger by new design 208.

also my heifers weighed 495 and 644lbs. how are these weights??

good, especially for first calf heifers and for one to be a twin which are usually smaller than normal at birth. 495 might be light to some on here but is acceptable to me.
