I have been told by several people that a young bull will throw a smaller calf. These people that told me that use young Simmental and Charolais bulls and dont have calving problems. I dont believe this because I think that the bull's genetics would determine the calve size. What is yall's opinion?

I'm with you.
 
People will tell you a lot of things. Does a one-legged duck swim in circles?

Younger bull= smaller calves= Horse feathers
 
The tehnical term for this is BS. What do they think, that the sperm cells are smaller? But if a cow is facing north when she's bred she'll have a bull calf, facing south a heifer!

What kind of Calf will the Cow have if she is facing East or West?
I have heard that it could be a Bull or Heifer. Depends on which way the wind is blowing.
 
Depends on which old phart farmer you ask.

the main reason that they use young bulls on heifers is because they are lighter and less likely break a heifer down. a mature bull that is heavy is more risky. age has nothing to do with birth weight.

a younger bull maybe will be more vigorous and will be more fertile than the old bull but to have smaller calves :lol: :lol: :lol: don't think so
