The average CHAPS producer exposed 218 cows to bulls. The cows had an average age of 5.7 years. Of the 218 cows exposed to the bull, 93.5% were pregnant in the fall, 92.9% calved in the spring and 90.9% weaned a calf in the fall.
During the calving season, 63.9% calved during the first 21 days, 88.9% during the first 42 days and 95.6% within the first 63 days of the calving season.
On average, the calves were weaned at 189 days, weighed 565 lbs. and had a frame score of 5.8.
These growth numbers translated into a 3.01-lb. weight gain per day of age and a 639-lb. adjusted 205-day weight. For every cow exposed, CHAPS producers weaned 505 lbs. of calf.
