Need A Ball?
A. L. (Ike) Eller, Assistant i Extension Livestock Specialist says, “Some performance 1 minimums should be set for bulls good enough to use and improve herds. “(1) Type of Grade - Must be \ choice or Fancy. “(2) Study B. C. I. A. records - A bull calf should gain ■ 2# per day on his mother - weight ?t 205 days 5004 or | better. Yearling weight 800# or better. Feed test 2.4# or better.
“(3) If no B. C. I. A. records - Weigh and divide weight by days old to get weight per - day - of - age. WDA should be above 2.45# at 210 days, 2.2# at 365 days, 2.1# at 16 months and 1.9# at 24 months.” I agree Ike has come through with a good yardstick. As for , me I must add, however, that| you must also determine the average grade and performance of your present cow herd, i Once this is determined al- l ways get a bull that measures ' a bit better, or higher than the cow herd average.
