Today's mail brought another batch of bull sale catalogs full of buxom beauties.
A simmental sale in Alberta with a yearling bull that weighed 1622lbs at 365 days :shock: his herdmate was a 1567lb bull out of a first calf heifer that weaned at 873lbs. All low input cattle i'm sure :wink:
Also a high selling outfit from Saskatchewan with Angus and Simmy bulls and a bunch of yearling simmy heifers. They must be good cattle because there was scarcely a negative EPD number in the catalog. :roll:
The heifers would average around the 1000lb mark at 365 days. Get this though among the heifers described as "moderate framed" were heifers weighing 1059lb, 1119lb and 1023lbs at 365 days - the latter one being off a first calf heifer.
Two questions:
What does moderate frame mean?
Any guesses what these will weigh mature?
