[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1446781, member: 12607"] BW and calving ease doesn't have to be any more of an issue with a Simmental bull than with an Angus... or any other breed. You just have to select one with appropriate calving ease... our current 'heifer' bull is a purebred Simmental... using him over Angus/Shorthorn, Simmental and SimAngus heifers. We chose him specifically for his CED and high WW epds. Thus far, out of two calf crops, all but one have come small, slender and unassisted; had to pull one big dead one... but that could be due to the Fleckvieh influence behind that heifer; judging by the other calves he's thrown, I can't really point a finger at him on that one. Going back over these baldies after their first calves... BW/CED should be a minimal concern. [/QUOTE]
