[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1400726, member: 24816"] A few years ago, when I had my first Hereford bull, someone mentioned that sometimes they had calving trouble due to big heads. With that particular bull he had a fairly high birthweight EPD and we had pretty good calving results from him on cows. Now I am using a Hereford bull from a heifer that I bought as a bred through a registered sale. The sale catalogue referred to the heifer and the mating as being calving ease. The first calf was born yesterday, and that was 4 days earlier than the first possible due date. I would not be reluctant to breed heifers to a proven calving ease Hereford, and wouldn't be worried much at all about cows being bred to an average BW Hereford bull. [/QUOTE]
