I feel like I almost used the wrong semen last year -- marked Star Power bull in reality -- MONGO the puller stretcher!!!
Three calves is all we had bred to him.
83 pounds bull -- 5 days early.
122 pounds bull -- 4 days early.
Tonight -- we just got a monster -- over 130 to be complimentary -- another BULL, from a moderate cow and was 7 days over due. He is half grown at 3 hours old! I have never seen a calf have to get on it's knees to suck -- but that is what he is doing right now! HUGE
If you are like me, and love your cows like I do -- stay the heck away from him on ANYTHING with clubby genetics in the pedigree. I know I Have a small test -- but holy crud -- that's enough already!
This cow will go to town now -- she tore up pretty good, and I was real carefull. His feet are bigger than my fist! He may very well be a great steer -- but is going to cost me a cow!
Done talking now -- enough is enough!
Sorry
Terry
