[QUOTE="Northern Rancher, post: 345611, member: 5898"] Well seeing as alot of our cows calve in the bush unobserved I'd pass on him-I'm sure there are lots of guys that barn calve and babysit who'd lap him up in a minute. When we select bulls they better have an acceptable BW and BW E.P.D-in the last 1500 calves out of mature cows we've never had a single assist-dead calves have a terrible growth rate and cows that die in the bush calving don't rebreeed very well. I don't have the labour or inclination to push the BW envelope-back in our Charolais days we ran some bigger BW bulls and got by with it-we get some fairly hefty Angus and South Devon calves even now but so far so good as far as calving troubles.
