[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1072789, member: 9096"] We have high BW's at our place regardless of which bull we use, an 80 lb heifer calf is about as small as they get, 90 for bull calves, and it goes up to 110/120 pretty routinely, My average last year was 100 lb on the button. I'll keep a close eye on the heifers I get from him, I think the ones that have more Shorthorn ought to have pretty decent hips, while the ones that are more Gelbvieh I might have to look at closer. I will also have to watch that they don't get too leggy with the SH's though, This guy is going to make a lot more frame than our GV bull did.. I think I may end up with more heifers that look like the leggy one I decided to keep this year. This new bull and my old bull are now together with the rest of the cows, and everyone seems to be getting along just fine, which is certainly a relief. They have about 40 cows at Hi Valley [/QUOTE]
