[QUOTE="cherokeeruby, post: 119567, member: 199"] "Breed of dam effects on dystocia and birth weight do not follow a consistent pattern, except for Zebu-influenced females. Data from many sources clearly demonstrate that as the percentage of Zebu breeding increases in the dam, birth weight and dystocia decline. In Cycles I, II and III at MARC, Brahman- and Sahiwal-sired F1 dams exhibited assistance rates of only 1 and 2 percent respectively, compared to a range of 7 to 17 percent for 14 European breedtypes." Pure bred Brahman cows have less than 1% calving difficulty from my experience. We have only had to have one calf presented normally pulled due to size during almost 20 years of raising them. Here is a good link I found: [url=http://web1.msue.msu.edu/msue/imp/modaa/e1611921.html]http://web1.msue.msu.edu/msue/imp/modaa/e1611921.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
