[QUOTE="cowperson, post: 584435, member: 4011"] Apparently calves have a s shaped spine and most are born dead. It has been found in the Precision 1680 bloodline and seems to happen more often when Precision 1680 is in both the dam and sire side. The following bulls Expectation, Yield Grade and Midland to name a few are out of Precision 1680. So if you mate a Expectation daughter to Yield Grade you may see a curly calf. So far there have been 47 curly calves out of 40,000 calves, that is 0.12%. Quite small but losing one calf affects profit. Just need to be careful with mating to reduce the possiblity of getting a curly calf. [/QUOTE]
