[QUOTE="houstoncutter, post: 840053, member: 807"] I think Jeanniehas nailed it. I myself could never understand why seedstock producers went outside their breed for calving ease on heifers...I know over the years I used to go the Longhorn or Corriente for heifers... The last bunch of heifers I used a young proven Limi bull...A poster on this board many years ago that had Kemi Limousin had a bull that she wanted to move called Shag Man...I paid a little more than normal for the bull, but no calf weighed more than 55 pounds at birth, and most of the calves caught up with their counterparts out bulls that were not calving ease bulls.. I continued to use the bull for years until he became lame... He made such an impression on me that I had him collected to use on heifers in the future if I get back in the cattle biz....lol,,,,of course that means I will have to get someone to AI. [/QUOTE]
