Hi everyone, my first post.
I have recently started assembling a suckler herd, and I have the opportunity to buy a bull from a neighbour who has some unfortunate health issues and is packing the job in.
The bull is a cross between a pure breed BB heifer sired by a pedigree AA bull.
we all know AA bulls throw small calves but I am slightly worried at the BB genetics from the mother.
has anyone ever used a AAxBB bull to serve their cows or heifers and what are the calves like at birthing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks
