[QUOTE="Lon, post: 815830, member: 16174"] [b]The title of the thread and the first post sounds a lot more like hereford bashing than angus bashing to me[/b]. I agree that if the heifers can't have a small or normal calf on her own the fault is with the heifer and not the bull. Contrary to popular believe a long head causes a lot more problems than the shorter wider heads. I've never pulled a calf in my life where the sides of the pelvic opening was the restriction, but have pulled more than a few where the calf's forehead hits the top of the pelvic opening. Add long heavy bone to the equation and you're bound to loose some sleep. (BTW I had a neighbour who milked holsteins and later on he used simmental bulls of the holsteins so I got a lot of experience pulling calves)[/quote] not hereford bashing. the hiefers themselves are angus bred to hereford bulls. just asking to see if what dicribed is normal with hereford sired calves since wasnt ever around them.
