To stir the pot.
Nothing obvious to criticize the bull on but for an Angus bull to gain 3.7lbs a day on a hay and silage ration with no grain sounds pretty amazing to me - can corn silage (i'm assuming its corn silage) really deliver these types of gain? Remember this was going to a weaned calf not a green yearling with a lot of compensatory gain waiting to happen. Just curious.

so if they scanned on Feb 14th (valentine's day) and today he weighed 1050 and lets say instead of 3.70 PPD lets use 3.50 PPD for the messing around the last few days he went thru that would put him at roughly 945lbs scan day. He had an actual rea of 11.2 - so he would have a 1.185 REA/CWT at roughly 10 months of age.... i'd say he definitely has good muscle in him not to mention imf so he's got the carcass end covered well. if you adjust his rea out to a year of age that is roughly a 13.6 REA.

what was his scrotal measurement?

I wondered how long you could hold out! Laughing Corn silage is wonderful feed. Gib Yardley has been selling bulls for 40+ years to hundreds of satisfied buyers in more states than I can count. His word is his bond and I have no reason to doubt him when he prints in his catalog what the bull did while on feed. He stopped the sale to talk about a Simm bull that he noticed was "stiff" as he'd sorted the pens that morning. Everyone sitting around me, lifelong cattlemen all, couldnt see anything at all. What did Gib have to gain? Nothing except he had noticed one of his bulls that he sees everyday and wanted the buyer to know what he'd seen. Until he proves otherwise, Gib Yardley is as honest as they come. THATS WHY I SPENT MONEY THERE! Wink Very Happy While we all learn by questioning the staus quo, some people still know what they are doing. Actually most folks do! Do me a favor and go back to the pictures....... How much grain does he look like he's had? I thought some of ya'll would be telling me he was too thin! Laughing

The old fellow that used to buy our yearlings put most of his gain on with corn silage. Good corn silage has quite a bit of corn in it as it can be fairly mature and still make good silage.
