[QUOTE="farmwriter, post: 721660, member: 10309"] I don't mean to sound like we were chasing magic numbers or anything when we got the bull, but we were interested in other bulls at this sale that we did not bid on because we were looking for something to put on the heifers - something to get the first calf here successfully - so calving ease was a big concern, much more so than weaning weight, for example. Sounds like the exact problem you were describing with current marketing, Angus9259. Can't help but wonder if some of the bulls with higher birth weights on paper would have worked out better in the pasture. [/QUOTE]
