What sort of birth weights have you had from Jake's Proud Jazz, high or low, I'm thinking about breeding him to my heifers.

Between 70-85 pounds.  Out of gelv heifer, shorthorn heifer, angus cow, and angus heifer.
A neighbor had one that weighed 90 pounds out of a char and piedmontese cross cow. He tends to feed well, and she is a huge cow!

Nice calves, grow well, and are easy to sell!

Had a friend that just had a 52lb heifer out of a shorthorn + and a 58lb bull out of a shorthorn.  (heifer is really nice.)

I had two this year. The first one was a 95# bull calf that was a hard pull. The second was a 60# heifer calf. Both out of first calf heifers. Here is a pic of the heifer calf, she is a week and a half old.

I know will catch hell for this(some people love their 1800# cows) but I wish every Shorthorn cow in the world was bred to him for just one year. Increases fleshing ability,polled,low birth weight, mostly red, downsizes, every thing that the breed needs. I guess he wouldn't good for the artificial performance figure (WDA) and he probably woudn't produce the 1800# cow though.

We had 3 heifers bred to him this year.  All of them had solid red, nice calves that were up and running in no time.  We did have a hard pull on the first  bull calf although he weighed only 82#.  I just don't think the heifer dilated very well.  The other bull and the heifer calf were born unassisted.  The heifer weighed 75# and is the most active calf we have.  I don't know what the second bull calf weighed as I sold the heifer as a bred to my neighbor.  She said the birth went well though and was very pleased with the calf.  I have a few straws for use on heifers this year as well.
