[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 623553, member: 968"] As someone else hinted to - I don't think you actually KNOW the weight of the calves - unless you are running miniature cows. Do you know the actual weight of your COWS/HEIFERS? The 7 years you were with a vet, might have been in an area that was heavily Angus breeding - so, yes, most of your calving calls would have been Angus calves. But as asked previously, at what %? If you HAVE to compare BREED to BREED (which is not a proper thing to do) Angus is the known calving ease sire & Limousin has been the known hard calving sire. Now, there are a lot of Angus that are NOT CE sires, and I'm sure there are a lot of Limo sires that ARE CE sires, but if I was to blind pick a bull, I sure would use Angus over Limo for heifers! AND I'M A SIMMENTAL BREEDER. ANY heifer worth her salt should be able to handle a 75# calf, without any difficulty. [/QUOTE]
