Do older bulls sire bigger calves?
No. Just because a bull is old doesn't mean he's going to sire larger, heavier calves. An old bull can range from a small mini Angus bull, to a big Charolais bull. Calf size is depending on the genes for birth weight in both the dam and the sire. If the sire has a large birthweight himself and the cow has the genes for siring large calves, then the calf will come out large. Size of the calves also depends on what you feed the cows in their last stage of pregnancy. High concentrate feeds fed to a cow in her last trimester can make for quite a large calf, no matter what condition the cow is in. Young unproven bulls are even known to throw large calves, especially if they have the EPDs for large calves from their dam and sire, or have a high birthweight. The chance of an unproven bull to throw large calves is much higher than with a proven bull that has already proven that he can throw small or large calves.
