[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 917196, member: 1715"] Some folks like doing things the hard way... We AI heifers to calving ease bulls, and then use higher growth + BW bulls on the cows. If they have trouble with that then they are gone. We have a lot of Herf and SW blood in our cows but they are able to handle bigger calves than some other breeds. Biggest calf last year was 115# and he was delivered unassisted. Mom is a second calver is out of a top cow and she bred back on time. Biggest problem last year was a blocky 84# BA calf. He went on the bone pile, and his mom is gone. [/QUOTE]
