Why do so many of you say the cows have a harder time calving being bread to brahman bulls. I would have figured it the other way.

The hybrid vigor and rapid growth it entails starts in the womb in Bos Tarus cows. The calf is bigger at birth causing the calving difficulties. I understand that for the most part mature cows that have had a calf or two generally don't have trouble.
If you breed a bos tarus bull to a brahman cow the calf will not be any bigger at birth than one she would have with a brahman bull, there may be a few pounds but not enough to matter. For some reason that scientist at Texas A&M University have not figured out a brahman cow regulates the size of the calf in gestation. The hybrid vigor starts after the calf is born. Some say it is a reduced blood flow to the uterus.
