[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 1239158, member: 6713"] I sold a Gelbvieh bull to one of the Apache reservations a few years ago. The following year their weaning weights were up 72lbs avg. They continue to climb as this bulls dtrs come into production. This is an extreme example but it's true. FWIW when Highgrit said his wife was happy with 450 to 500 lb weaning weights I told him she would be a lot happier with 750. Keep in mind he was talking about 8 to 9 month old calves. My avg purebred Gelbvieh bull calf weans right at 650 lbs at 205 days. The heifers are of course lighter....but not much. [/QUOTE]
