[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1824144, member: 39695"] It only takes one train wreck to make pelvic measuring seem really cheap. The year before I started pelv measuring we bred 19 hfrs to a little blk angus bull. Under the old school assumption that little black bulls make little black calves. The fallowing spring I pulled 18 calves and had 1 hfr prolapse and die. I was young, maybe 20 didn’t know anything about EPD’s yet. But I learned PDQ! We switched to calving ease hfr bulls and pelv measuring the hfrs. Rarely pull calves now. I find one or two hfrs on average every year that I cull after we measure. Not necessarily because they don’t pass but they are usually 10-20sqcm less than the average of the group. [/QUOTE]
