[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1641211, member: 40587"] Yep. I agree about the calves..the steers will be sold at weaning. The heifers, though, they intend to sell as 2 yr old open, or sometimes bred, heifers. May raise some on up and sell as a 3 n 1, calf by the side and bumping. They do intend to record birth and weaning weights on this first batch this fall, which can go on the pdf file with the pedigrees as well. Again, dunno what value this would be, except maybe for their own benefit as they decide which cows pair best with what bulls. But, if that data is available for a buyer, too, along with the pedigree, it at least shows a buyer that they are putting in the research and effort to produce good quality broodstock. It has been 45-50 years since I was in 4H and FFA, so don't really know if any of this info would be helpful if someone bought a steer or heifer to show. I guess they still have commercial classes?
