[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 497556, member: 694"] Joy I haven't use a set of chains in years, I can't remember the last calf I had to assist. I had a breech I didn't catch in time couple years ago. I got a good lesson in calving difficulties in the mid seventies with a Pallet headed Char bull on a bunch of crossbred cows weighing 800 to a 1000. I wore out a set of chains for a couple of years. I want to buy a calving ease bull that calves get here about the size of a housecat. I can't sell a dead calf. I have found that to many breeders have been chasing weaning weight at a high cost to CE and BW. And they are all low birthweight calving ease bulls when you buy them. I like to see a bulls progeny on the ground or his Sires. They can write all the numbers they want on the paper it still doesn't beat a discerning eye. PS I am a nervous Nelly right now as I brought in a new bull last year and have a crop due in June. That is one reason I hang on to a good bull so long when I get one. This crop will tell if he stays here or at Mc Donalds. I know the cows are good as they are all older working ladies. [/QUOTE]
