Bull Tests

We arrived at the Michigan bull test on Saturday, October 17. It will be our winter home. After the auction in March, we'll have a new home. We will be competing with all the other bulls. Last year we had a brother who placed number 1 at the bull test. We hope we can do well, too.
We are getting ready to go to the Indiana Bull test on Tuesday, October 27. We were all sired by TC Total. Our weaning weights were between 838 and 896 pounds. We gained between 3.48 and 3.61 pounds per day.
