IDK about adding some size but all of the Comfort Zone calves I've seen have been nicely constructed and fancier made. Plus he is a PB Maine so it would bring you to 75% Maine.

General Lee X PB Charolais

We've also had success with General Lee. All are out of PB Charolais or Charolais X. I'm going to attach some pics. The first pic is out of a PB Charolais. Yesterday won class 15 in the ORB at SALE. She is over 2 but dont have any recent pics. The next two calves are full sibs out of a Captain...

A cheap way to add some condition is to cook some barley. You can buy barley pretty cheap and cook a cup or two in a crockpot over night and one during the day for the night feeding. We did this to put some more condition on a heifer. Good about it is you can control how much she gets. We had...

Have an unstoppable cow she moderate framed as well. She milks well and is a good cow for us. She never has never had a calving problem so pelvic size should be good (never measured though). Lastly she is correct in her structure front end included. Hope this helped!

You are right he is probably doing that because he knows he can. He might eventually stop doing it as time goes on and she practices with him more. The best way to fix it is to not let him do it. I know it might be hard for your daughter but that is the best solution. Maybe try walking him with...

You can't really make him wider structurally but you can add muscle that would make him "wider". I would continue to keep feeding they feed you are. He will naturally get wider as he grows as well. Looks like a good steer. Good Luck!

SSR Mr Driven PLD 6004 is a Purebred Charolais bull that is a low birth weight and throws good calves. Good Luck!

Well it depends on the breed. Certain breeds such as Angus mature a little faster, but I've always heard that they can usually breed around a year if not a few months after they turn a year. Hope this helps.

I'm from Texas and we just recently got out of a drought. The biggest thing is to make sure you are not overgrazing your place. We did the same with the hay having for them constantly. With the feed we fed about two bags of feed a week. If it got really bad we fed two bags two times a week. In...

Has anyone used this bull. What does he work on and how does he breed? Are there any pics of calves out there. Looks like a good bull just haven't heard anything on him. Thanks

Calf pic is a General Lee calf born 10/15/15. He is out of a Captain Morgan cow.
