[QUOTE="dun, post: 537430, member: 34"] sq centimeters We don;t measure heifers that we've raised. We only retain heifers if they are from a line of cows that calve easy and sired by bulls that have easy calving daughters. Of the heifers we've bought we haven't had any difference in calving ease between the larger and smaller size. Just talked to the vet about this subject again a day or 2 ago and he feels that in most herds if heifers are retained the lower 50 percent and the upper 25 percent shouldn;t be kept. But that's just his opinion. The link deals with pelvic and calving ease: [url=http://extension.missouri.edu/explore/agguides/ansci/g02017.htm]http://extension.missouri.edu/explore/a ... g02017.htm[/url] [/QUOTE]
