[QUOTE="VaCowman, post: 1538925, member: 33135"] I tried 10 units last fall. Calves hit the ground in September. I got 9 of 10 to take. (breeding on natural heats) Mixed results on whether or not the bull I chose is truly calving ease. I did not have to assist any of the cows during the birthing process, so in that regard, yes, they are. That being said, I did have one calf that was extremely late that was well in excess of 100#. Cow was a brute too, so not sure it was all the bulls fault. So far, other than a slightly different tone of black in color, there is no difference in the Akaushi calves when compared to the Angus AI calves. Bone is good, depth is good, look is good. Most are approaching their 2 month birthday in a week so it's still early in the game. We direct market and so from what I have read in doing my research, they were the best fit for high marbling without sacrificing too much. The F1's should finish MUCH closer to traditional beef as opposed to the blacks that will take 24+ months to finish. Anything beyond 2 months of age is still an unknown, but FWIW, I've ordered more for this Fall. I like em so far! [/QUOTE]
