[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 689197, member: 4353"] Not neccesarily, I don't use bulls for the sole purpose of heifer freshners, but calving ease isn't even negotiable for me, the first bull I sell that gives calving problems will be the last bull I sell to that customer. To me there is no point in giving the bull longer than the age bracket in which you usually sell your calves. If you sell weaners you don't need a bull that will only look good at 2 1/2. If your market is for heavy fats you don't want a little butterball at 10 months, either. Its not very difficult to make a mature bull look good with enough feed. [/QUOTE]
