[QUOTE="dun, post: 277074, member: 34"] Half BS and half accurate. The low BW alwasy contributing to later calving problems is BS. If you don;t select for the bulls daughters calving ease you cna get into trouble. But low BW doesn;t automatically mean that you're breeding for small pelvic size. The pelvic size and "COW" size is accurate. BW also doesn't directly correlate to low weaning weights. Our little jackrabbit 60-75 lb calves weaned off at between 478 and 630, the light one from a heifer that had a 45 lb calf. This is in 137 - 187 days of age at weaning. dun [/QUOTE]
