[QUOTE="Till-Hill, post: 839782, member: 16547"] Great topic. #1 if you can't use your heifers own breed on her get rid of her. There is enough good cattle in this country not to make anymore junk. #2 There is no such thing as gaurunteed CE in an unproved bull. When using A.I. pick high accuraccy bulls that are at least in the top 25% OF THEIR BREED. #3 CE is built from the cow first. If your heifers momma had troubles then why the heck is the heifer on your farm? (kinda back to #1) I breed Angus heifers to PB simmental bulls every year. To me as a breed the simmy's have better of the top end of CE than angus does anymore. I have an angus cow that drops a 100 lb calf like she farted. I have a shorty cow that drops a 125 lb calf while inhailing, and a simmy hfr that a 90 lb fell out of her while she was eating at bunk. But I really love them 65-80 lb calves. On my farm if I pull it, the calf and the cow GETS CULLED. Unless it's twins or a normal problem. A BEEF COW THAT CANNOT CALVE ON HER OWN IS NOT A BEEF COW AT ALL. [/QUOTE]
