Not a fan of Sin City, don't think he is half as good as his dirty brother... JMO
kfacres said:Had a RA born week early, first calf heifer, 52 lb. Dude, I agree, cow is half, but like I said before, Any bull can make a great one out great cows, but true studs make great ones outa average cows. Also, I live bout 45 min from where RA was produced, and sold at public auction for a mere 1200.. Also, know and live bout hour from Guyer... People I know used RA quite heavily, got a bunch of skinny bellied, straight hocked, frail boned calves
I do remember the cow is 1/2 of the equation, I have had 4 RA calves, 94,100,100 and 102, not blaming the bull just stating a fact ours were big and he is known as a big calver.DCC_Cattle said:I have used Radio Active the past 2 years and had really good results with him. I did worry because I heard that birthweights were big but mine have only weighed 70-75 lbs and they grow fast! I think you need to remember that the cow is half of the equation, so don't always blame the bull.
