[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1815040, member: 19683"] Believe me, you're not the only ones. Have seen plenty of farmers here being obsessed about easy calving bulls and loosing some other important traits as a result. One example: pure Charolais farmer, 18 months old heifers weighing 1500lbs, adult cows weighing around 2000-2200lbs, some more, rarely gets calf heavier than 110lbs. Cows have poor pelvis, not build for good calving. That farmer is very surprised how our "tiny" cows can calve bigger calves. But she doesn't want to use abit more average calving bulls to improve her herds capabilities as she is afraid to have to assist more calvings. [/QUOTE]
