[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 288226, member: 1258"] I wouldn't do it. My opinion is that if you are breeding two different breeds then for the first calf the bull should be the smaller breed and have great calving ease EPD's as well as a low birth weight. Sometimes what you are talking about doing works but more often you will be pulling a lot of calves which is the last thing you want for your heifers- better if they can do it naturally and learn it right the first time, then you might have calves that are too big on those girls. That will just inhibit their growth and isn't worth it in the long run. [/QUOTE]
