What a moronic question I ever read, cowgirl8.....cowgirl8":t4a4945g said:Nice bull......How old are your heifers when you breed them and will this young bull be put on them before proving he wont throw large calves?
13 to 16 months. :nod: I sure didn't buy this bull to trial on cows then use on heifers. By then he would be possibly to big to use. That would be like wiping with a wagon wheel. He has Great calving numbers. CE 16 BW -1.7 CEM 13 B&Gcowgirl8":3jlufgyp said:Nice bull......How old are your heifers when you breed them and will this young bull be put on them before proving he wont throw large calves?

Nice balancer bull! I've heard lot of good things about them being great calving ease bulls.

Not all Balancers are calving ease bulls. However the ones with a negative BW epd and a 16 for calving ease usually are. BTW you are dead on with the moronic question observation.
Since i was told this from these oh so experienced cattlemen here, i wondered if this poster also followed it. Just wanted to see if you guys follow your own advice...wacocowboy":31kl6glo said:I never like to go with an unproven bull on first time heifers.
It wouldn't hurt to use a 3 year old who has a proven calf crop on the ground. I know several ranches who do that with their first time heifers.
