McCabe Fall Angus Bulls - LivestockDirect.net

Something to Think About!!!
• Light birth weight bulls are always in demand and will continue to be used
for heifers breeding projects. We have a variety of “spread” bulls that offer
a low birth weight and still have the performance to wean at the top of the
calf crop. There is a place for these calving ease bulls and there always will
be. However, when we have stressful periods such as extremely cold or
wet conditions these extremely light calves are at a disadvantage. The stam
in between a 60 pound calf and an 80 pound calf, if they should begin to get
sick, is tremendous. We certainly are not trying to make your breeding decision
for you. But keep in mind if used on cows, on average a higher birth
weight bulls offers more performance, sires calves with more stamina at
birth, and normally be purchased at a lower cost.
