I tried your link, but when I got to Angus Association I need their name or ID number. I'd be much obliged if you would provide it.
We bought 3 Mytty IN Focus sons to breed our yearling heifers to
this spring.
Sure, try this:
11833546
Weavers Math 92-18
Those should be some really nice bulls you bought :wink: . I'm hoping we won't need bulls next year, but you never know. I remembered you'd commented on Mytty bulls in a previous post.
Can't be any good-he ain't "Bigger, Better, Faster"-Doesn't have +80 WW and +120 YW and +30 Milk :wink: :lol:
Looks like a good old bull....Thats the numbers I like...
:lol: :lol: :lol: I was waiting for a comment on the EPD's. Weavers haven't followed the EPD nonsense, and have very functional Angus cattle :wink:... no 1600 pound two-year old heifers on their ranch :roll: . They develop their bulls out on grass, not in a feedlot, and sell two-year olds. They've never seen a creep feeder. They do feed a little corn with hay during the winter, but other than that, they grow on grass. I may add, I like yearling bulls, and am not against developing them on better feed to get the size, but this isn't Weaver's program. EPD's are a good tool, but certainly not the ending, deciding factor for me.
We've purchased other "high performing" Angus females, and they just have way too much frame and milk for this place. They've worked for us, but don't look as good as they should. They are the cows which need 30+ pounds hay/day...and it's NOT happening

! Interestingly enough, daughters out of these cows have worked much better than their mothers...I guess they need to grow and mature here to work best
