[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1803649, member: 19683"] Using different breeds bulls to get more heterosis and to get a more consistent offspring. Mostly because that we had several breeds in our cows to begin with. What is heavy for some is an average for other. Our current average bw is around 100lbs. It's normal for this part of the world. We do not breed for heavy birth weights. It's not our goal, but also we don't like very easy calving bulls, so sometimes calves are born heavier, especially when a couple breeds are thrown into a mix. All are shedding their winter coats pretty much. The ugly phase. This year all heifers got easy calving bulls pretty much. Sometimes we sell weanlings, sometimes fatten bulls and sell to the slaughterhouse. [/QUOTE]
