[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 776815, member: 4353"] Its a bit bold to say BW is irrelevant, there is more than enough research that says otherwise. That said, I agree there are more factors playing a role in dystocia, heavy bone and big long heads in my opinion being the two main culprits. If you continue to stack those high BW bulls in your herd sooner rather than later you are going to keep the vet in business, no stockman is good enough to handle every situation that might arise. Every breed has the things that needs to be improved on and while BW in Herefords isn't a real concern yet, making them heavier at birth simply isn't making progress. [/QUOTE]
