[QUOTE="greenwillowherefords, post: 82906, member: 587"] Is there any type of study showing why an operation would have almost all bull calves? I am curious as to whether environment plays a role in this. It has been frustrating for me to try to build with replacement heifers when it seems that all I get are bulls! My cattle definitely have to work for a living. They are not pampered. My pastures are in bad need of more fertilizer and spraying for weeds than I have managed to put into them. I try to keep good mineral available. I feed prairie hay in the winter that ranges from pretty good to barely fair, depending on what my supplier has at the time. I supplement lightly in winter with 20% cubes. My cattle have never fallen apart when sold into other herds, because they already live like commercial cattle. Opinions Please. [/QUOTE]
