[QUOTE="jvicars, post: 495781, member: 7166"] thanks for all of the advice. i have a herd of 40 cows and 2 bulls. What I like about the bull in question was his growth rate compared to my other calfs. He is younger but has grown much faster and is more muscled. I dont have any related cows to him except one cow. For my little operation generally we dont have the specs for the bulls we buy anyway. They get seman tested and that is it. What I really want is more muscled calfs and faster growth rates and large birth weights. I will take the chance with larger birth weight calves. Perhaps my best bet is a charloias bull in the future. I really want to compare what I get out of a large structured bull compared to my angus sires. Black does sell a bit better than charloias crosses however if the weaning weight is higher than the difference gets made up. Just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
