[QUOTE="rgv, post: 146530, member: 1565"] I bought an Angus yearling last spring and bred 10 cows with him. Did a good job and everyone settled first time from what I could tell. I like the looks of him, however wish he had a little more height. He will be 2 years old in March. I realize that that bull's don't reach maturity until 3-5 year range. Just wondering if the largest % of height is by a certain date in Angus. Horses for example reach adult height usually by 2 years old, however thier body fills out etc in the next 2 years. Below are his EPDS - What do you think? BW WW MILK YW Ind +3.6 +27 +18 +57 Sire +2.0 +34 +24 +82 Dam +5.1 +20 +12 +31 I keep all my calves and background through winter(spring calves). The YW's look good so I am hoping that even if they do not wean real heavy they will weigh out good when I sell. Cows are all adult 5-8 years old. Black Baldies(Black Herefords - just a joke)couple of redneck cows and one black cow. My next bull will probably be a continental, but wondering any one's opinion on my current line-up. Black Baldies bred to and angus bull - does the white stay or just a hit and miss thing on the calves? Thanks in advance RGV [/QUOTE]
