[QUOTE="jdg, post: 1550603, member: 13350"] Ebenezer- The bull has NOT seen a lot of usage in purebred herds that register cows, I suspect, because of those flat numbers from cow families reaching back decades. My daughters are on the smaller side, but not tiny....and the calves i've weaned have not been abnormally undersized. Pinebank cattle (his sire)mature early and grow pretty aggressive to yearling, but then shut down after yearling on mature size. Not terminal growth, but you won't see puds. I believe the bull excels at producing grass finished beef, and daughters that are efficient at weaning a high percentage of their body weight with minimum inputs. But he's not going to produce enough frame to have steers top the sales ring at your local barn. If you want a bull that will add muscle, fertility, good feet, docility, and bring down frame size....i think he will do this better than Charlo. I've been around enough Paxton sons to see what he offers with muscle, power, and efficiency, but his docility is questionable. Fertility is main thing that the Pinebank breed has stressed for almost 60 years without compromise. As stockmen, having a healthy calf at weaning every year has to be our first focus. [/QUOTE]
