[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3227872, member: 7900"] Talking about a bull with the first-time heifers, I've got a story for you from our past. (By the way, we call them "Springer" heifers.) Father-in-law had been advised numerous times that to get smaller calves from the Springer heifers, he needed to get a scrubby black bull just for putting with them. Sadly, father-in-law was never one to buy anything "scrubby." He ended up buying a quality Angus bull and the Springer heifers had a hard time for their first ones. Later, father-in-law sold the quality Angus bull to my brother-in-law (my sister's husband). B-I-L kept telling me that we sold him a crummy bull as he never, ever saw the bull "servicing" the cows. Come Spring, his calf crop was close to 98%, so we all guessed that the Angus bull took advantage of his color and snuck up on the cows at night. [/QUOTE]
