[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1099206, member: 18809"] This bull is just a year old yesterday, and we weighed him last weekend (when we put his nose ring in) and he weighed 1226 pounds. He is currently on 8 pounds of bull ration and orchard hay (mature hay). He is an embryo bull calf that I traded some semen for (I had some Steel Force semen - high dollar stuff for those not familiar with Simmental pedigrees) for two embryos, of which only one stuck. So, the semen cost about $400 total, so that is about my investment (beside the year of the cow that carried and raised him). We really like him; he is deep and soggy, yet maintains his muscle shape. A fault he has that I do not care for is a bit of extra navel for me, but he got that from his dam. He has covered two cows, one passed over her cycle on Saturday (he has not been semen tested), I just wanted to get a couple of calves out of him to see what he can do....
