[QUOTE="TXBobcat, post: 865351, member: 94"] I was planning on buying a young virgin bull, so looking at his progeny would not be a possibility; however, the pelvic measurement is good advice. I have heard that Longhorns in general have a larger pelvic area than other breeds which contributes to their calving ease. I'm hoping this would be passed on to the 50% Longhorn heifers. I have never had pelvic exams done on any of our cattle; however, we have not had any calving problems with the purebred Longhorns or the Angus x Longhorn crosses. What's the earliest age the pelvic exam could be done? Just wondering if it could be done when I take the heifers for their OCV at 8-10 months old? [/QUOTE]
