[QUOTE="redfornow, post: 428273, member: 1580"] Its seems he has settled back down alittle but there for awhile 606 was like a 11 or 12 which is horrid. The first calf I had out of 606 was an 80 lb block a really bad pull. But after that I have had great luck, IF I stay away from higher ce and bw cows, you know stay in the average. On that note how much of the drop off of a bull like that do you give to him being used on high BW/CE cows that would have a 95 lber no matter what you breed her to? You know that wide use on "problem" cows or heifers are going to make that number jump, not just on 606 but other spread bulls. I think a true CE bull can take it, but they also raise average calves in most cases. The growth just isnt there. The potential for growth, while bred to a heavy cow or heifer is what I think causes some of these blowouts. Growth doesnt start at birth. Anyhow interested to see what you think. MD [/QUOTE]
