[QUOTE="BucknerLimFlex, post: 1172892, member: 22882"] The EPD's on the bull are quite low. Even looking back three generations, all BW have been low for this line of genetics. We are looking into their being some horrible trait picked up within the bull though. The heifer's weigh 1,200 pounds so they are big enough to be calving. Their pelvic's are of normal size, too. This is the first time we have ever had such drastic calving problems. It's usual to expect heifers to have issues while calving, but this is just mind-blowing. I suspect a high nutrient feed in the last trimester months could lead to this problem.. Thank you everyone for your input. It is much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
