[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1496496, member: 22295"] I agree with your statement. Just last week I read an article from a breed association where they stated that how a calf was built had little if any effect on calving easer or difficulty. I have found it is one of the main factors and most of the old respected cattle men some of who have developed heifers tell me the same thing. I still say you don't know if he is a heifer bull until you calf a few out of him. The best recent Angus heifer bull we used weighed over 85 lbs at birth. He never sired a calf on a heifer that weighed over 80 and everyone looked like a greyhound and slid right out. [/QUOTE]
