[QUOTE="bward, post: 35046, member: 48"] I have found that longer faced cattle tend to be deeper in the pelvis and hence easier calving. All the short faced heifers I ever culled were definately shallow in the pelvis and often shorter in the hip as well. From a side profile a well fed short faced heifer is deeper in the girth than in the flank area, and will tend to have a reverse triangle in that the big end of the triangle is at the front and the smaller end of the triangle is at the back.... They may be very wide in the butt from the back view but still be very hard calving due to a shallow pelvis. A long headed heifer is more often than not the opposite of that. Just my opinion.
