[QUOTE="VLS_GUY, post: 786085, member: 13182"] What is the heifers breeding and own birth weight? Size? Unless she has a birth weight well north of 100 LBs or is out of a cow with known calving issues you can use a Charolais heifer bull with confidence. In factg enough proven heifer bulls exist that you can choose the traits you want to emphasize. LT has produced easy calving bulls that IMO are far better than Bluegrass depending on the female to be used on. If you want some Wyoming Wind Influence Three Trees Wind 0383 ( $ 50) is a good choice. For an even lighter birth weight EPD than Bluegrass look at LT Silver Distance. By the way LT has a new calving ease/performance bull called Winn Mans Lanza. Negitive birth weight EPDs and sky high yearling weight EPDs. Check him out at: [url=http://www.highcountryheifers.com.au/downloads/lanza.pdf]http://www.highcountryheifers.com.au/do ... /lanza.pdf[/url] An old bull that works very well on Heifers is Baldridge Fasttrack. A calving ease bull that is rapidly proving himself is SVY Kaboom. He has plenty of eye appeal and show ring appeal. Kabbom is a SVY Freedom son out of MXS Vermillion a calving ease bull in Canada. The only problem is that he has an accuracy of .6 on a -3.0 birth weight EPD due to his first calves only now being reported. [/QUOTE]
