[QUOTE="Dave, post: 302385, member: 498"] In cattle as in most animals (but not all) the mature male is larger than the mature female. So if you are breeding with a mature bull who is smaller than your cows you will be downsizing the average cow in your herd given that you are keeping replacements. This could be a good thing or a bad thing. One thing it should be is planned, if that is what you are doing. My bulls are slightly bigger than the cows. The few replacement heifers I keep end up growing to average size in the cow herd. Dave [/QUOTE]
