[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1846800, member: 40587"] I thought about it, but in person she is a lot skinnier than she looks in those pics. Plus, they had the Char bull she was bred to there as well. He had horns to rival a Corr. He was 2100 lbs, and even at that, he was near as thin as she was. So no telling how big the calf would be. I went there specifically to look at the Brama cows they had. Just knew there bred to the prettiest red Brahma bull I have seen in a while. Turns out [I]they[/I] were bred to that Char bull as well. The red Brama was bred to to 2 rwf and one bwf cow, that had calves on them by that Brahma! That Brahma bull sold for just $1800, and the Char sold for $1500. The had both flunked their semen test, but heck, they had calves in the ring! Barn vet told me out of the 8 bulls tested today, only 3 passed. He said " [I]But I wouldn't read that much into it. New environment, hauled a long way, all the racket etc, may have caused it.[/I]" Well, the bidders sure did read a lot into it! LOL [/QUOTE]
