[QUOTE="whitecow, post: 623955, member: 8638"] I couldn't agree more. My point about slender shoulders was simply my observastions of witnessing/assisting with dystocia (for my job, not so much in my own herd). I did not intend to suggest that bulls should be selected for calving ease based on their own mature appearance. I think EPD estimates for calving ease and maternal caving ease for most breeds are beginning to show some accuracy. I chose to place more weight on these EPDs than on visual inspection of a bull for calving ease....especially since >90% of my calves are from AI sires. [/QUOTE]
