[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1361476, member: 25884"] I agree with the whole crossbred bull thing. Have a limflex that just hasn't cut the mustard and can't keep the weight on him either that I like. No matter how you slice it, they are crossbred and the calves won't be as predictable as purebreds. We use easy calving angus on our heifers, and don't worry about pulling calves; they get checked twice a day and I love just going to find one off by herself with a new baby curled up on the ground. These percentage bulls just don't make alot of sense to me especially if you have a mixed herd, the calves can't be all that uniform unless the bull is extremely prepotent, but you still have to factor in the variables of the different cows.
