[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 57092, member: 97"] WisRose- Is this a heifer or what is the reason you think this cow needs an easy calving bull? Remember whenever you bring in another breed you get heterosis with the hybrid calf--Sometimes this kicks in before the calf is born and many of the BW epds and calving ease epds go right out the door--the calf may be much larger than you expect.. These epds are developed using cattle of the same breed-- And with the baldy cow you already have one cross- then if you throw a continental breed back on her, I'm not sure I'd be too secure with any CE EPD's I've even had problems with some of the purebred hereford cows bred back to low birthweight angus bulls- pulled 140+lb calves on occasion.
