I'm looking at buying an Angus Bull in the near future. I'm curious what real world weaning weight gains yall have seen by increasing your bull power. This bull's sole purpose will be to mash scales at the auction barn.
The bulls I am looking at have bw in the 70s and ww #700+.
If you put that bull over commercial type cattle and were going to the auction barn, how much heavier would you expect the calf to wean... real world... over a bull with a #550 or #650 ww?
I'm trying to get an idea of how to calculate the bulls added value vs his cost.
What's a general range? Is it #5, 20, 50, 100 per head? What is a realistic expectation?
