[QUOTE="Dusty, post: 495729, member: 4585"] GreeNwillow.... Pat yourself on the back, using a bull as a herd sire that then turns into a commercial bull, just how good was that bull ? I will just throw out some stats.. Last year 320+ embryos calved in 2=10 year old commercial cows. All these cattle in cooperator herds, So I couldn't control feed, cattle, or Protein amounts... 230 Charolais Embryos and 113 Angus Embryos, 153 Charolais Pregancies, No Dead Calves, only 1 issue with a calf turned arround and tried to come out backwards.. Ended up saving the calf and cow.. (lost 4 calves to sickness @ 45 days all in one herd) 77 Angus Pregancies, lost 4 calves @ birth, either the head or front shoulders caught up..(3 different herds) and we had 2 calves that reported were polled by our operators... Those are Fall 2007 Results... as of 01/15/08 .... So if the Charolais are such hard calvers and Angus the Premier "easy Calvers" of the industry how could the Angus nearly double the % of calving problems then the Charolais, Same herds, both Charolais and Angus placed in most herds...
