[QUOTE="tnwalkingred, post: 1205397, member: 14434"] MidTNcattle, 95% of the people who raise calves in our area sell those calves at the sale barn correct? Once those calves leave that sale barn they go to a feed lot where they are fed large amounts of feed so that they can gain lots of weight and then processed for slaughter. Buying a bull that has proven he can gain on feed is more likely than not a indicatior that his calves will do the same. I background all my calves for at least 45 days before I sell them and believe me I want as good of genetics I can get to ensure those calves will put as many pounds as possible on before I take them to the sale barn. If the bulls are brought off of feed properly and given the right amount of nutrition afterwards they should hold their condition well. Holding condition and gaining condition take two very different diet regimes. KW [/QUOTE]
