Recently on here there was a discussion on mature weights on bulls. I believe it was in the asterisk frre thread. Not sure. I did some digging today and found some mature weights on some A.I. bulls. I found it very interesting.

Two new bulls; Mushrush Impressive, yearling frame 4, yearling weight 971 lbs. Mushrush lock and Load, 4.7 frame at a year, 1118 yw.
I guess my point with all this is to show just how much diversity you can find just in two semen catalogs as far as mature size goes. So really nobody is wrong with their opinion. All boils down to waht you like to look at and what works for you. Those are some pretty big differences in size IMO. Obviously their are lots of folks who can use all of them or they wouldnt be in there for long.
