[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 415068, member: 13"] We raise registered Angus and most years have 205 day weights of around 700 lbs on our bull calves. That's mostly on their moms on native grass. Depending on when they're born, they may be on feed for a while to get ready for test before we weigh for the 205 day weights. You should be able to find an Angus bull to improve those weights. Pay attention to the WW EPD on any Continental bull if you intend to go that way. In the race to improve their calving reputation, many of them no longer produce the kind of weaning weights they did ten years ago. I'll post a link to the accrossbreed EPD table. Take time to study that before you go buy a new bull. Good luck....
