Bright Side of Brinks

Bright (as we call him) is a heifer bull. He has a negative birth weight, so he is perfect for heifers. The Brangus breed average is 2.0, so he should throw calves around 50 pounds. He is extremely high in milk (20.1) while the breed average is 9.1. This high milk number means that his heifers should give a lot more milk than average.
