[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 817947, member: 4353"] Nothing different from any other bull out there, atleast with this one you know what can happen in a feedlot situation. Those type of WW is normal for me, not because a lack of growthability or a lack of milk, but because a lack of grazing or a lack of ideal growing conditions like your cattle experience. My showstring has WWs that can challenge any herd and that is usually after being fed for just two months. Don't ever underestimate compensatory gain. My only concern in the case of these bulls would be if they weaned quite a bit lighter than their contemporaries I would question the milking ability they would pass on, but if they were in range with the rest of the herd I would not be hesitant to use that kind of genetics. In the cattle world every weight needs to be associated with an index in a proper contemporary group to have any use at all. [/QUOTE]
