[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1239087, member: 14585"] In another posting one member told another that if he used a better bull he could increase his weaning weights 250 lbs. That is simply not a realistic expectation. The Top Bull in the Angus breed sires calves that average 42 lbs more at weaning than breed average. The Bottom Bull sires calves that average 46 pounds less at weaning than breed average. So [b]IF[/b] you switched from using the very worst angus bull to the very best angus bull, 88 lbs would be the expected difference, not 250 lbs. The guy claiming 250 lbs just buying a better bull wasn't even trying to sell a bull. Imagine the sales pitch if he had one for sale [/QUOTE]
