[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1841635, member: 24816"] With my registered cows back 25-30 some years ago weighing 1400-1800 and bulls that matured around 2500, I had some pretty big BW most calves were over 100 lbs a few as as big as 135. We had to pull a couple a year most times. The most calves we pulled by a particular bull was actually one that sired calves in the 90-95 lb range pretty consistently. He was supposed to have been considered a heifer bull but was not and even gave sone trouble on cows too. The majority of bulls we used were fairly good at calving ease considering the size of calves. Generally our pulls from cows were breech or leg turned back. We had some neighbors that had the old time Simmentals and our vet at the time was always telling us he was glad we didn’t get into Simmentals. Once he told me he was glad when one of the neighbors quit using Simmental bulls. [/QUOTE]
