[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 936235, member: 12607"] Agreed; while I've not looked extensively at Fleckvieh sires recently, most I've seen have some birthweight about 'em; probably not more than most well-grown mature cows could handle - but not something I'd want to breed to heifers. The 'mainstream' American Simmental breeders have done a great job getting BW down and calving ease up over the past 20+ years, and there are quite a number of good Simmental bulls that are every bit as easy-calving on heifers as the average Angus bull. I don't care if I never pull another calf; I still want reasonable CE/BW even on sires I use on my mature cows - can't point you at a 'calving ease' full Fleck - they may be out there, I just don't know 'em.
