[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1798887, member: 1715"] OK, I will take the bait: A 50 pounds WW reduction is unlikely. Perhaps 35 pounds. So without getting into when you wean and a lower VOG - - 20x35=700 herd WW less, but you may lose one dumb calf from using a power bull that sires square calves, and so it is about a wash... Problem with lower BW and/or lower frame size bulls are the idiots who stack several generations of this breeding to end up with a poor performing herd. These bulls are not good or bad, they are just a special tool. Better question is how do you select cows that can handle a terminal calf w/o assistance? [/QUOTE]
