[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 834398, member: 6713"] Here are some weights from a recent bull sale in Colorado. All bulls avgeraged were yearlings, and these were their SALE weights. Not totally scientific but VERY interesting nevertheless. 15 Angus bulls Avg 1077lbs 30 Balancers Avg 1137lbs 35 Sim-Angus AVG 1136lbs 10 2yr old Balancers avg 1456lbs 4 2yr old Sim-Angus bulls avg 1598lbs This on the surface would seem to give the edge to the Simangus except for a couple of things. It would lead me to believe that they would also carry a much higher mature weight, eat more and have to go down the road at an earlier age due to breaking down either themselves or the cows they were breeding. I know several ranchers who had to sell bulls this year due to them stifling cows. BTW these bulls were in the same lot on the same feed segreted loosely by size into 3 different pens so that the larger bulls would compete against their own size peer group. You draw your own conclusions. [/QUOTE]
