[QUOTE="bse, post: 1066142, member: 13989"] A special heifer sale close to me the bull used has to have a CED 10 or more not picky on BW. To me I look at the pedigree to see if theres something there that could throw a bigger calf I have no problem with a BW of 2 maybe 2.5 on heifers. The thing with the spread from BW to YW is a lot of folks don't want to keep those first calves so no big deal. I think also folks read to much into low BW if you go to a sale the low BW bulls usually outsale the moderates with some growth and they will take the bulls home use them on mature cows and leave some dollars on the table. There are some bulls out there that will do both low BW and some growth. [/QUOTE]
