[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 20783, member: 13"] "Easy calving" is an opinion. Some people don't seem to mind pulling calves. They consider a C-section a difficult birth. I've seen young cowboys argue which is the easier pull, Simmentals or Charlaois. But I use EPDs to make it as easy on the heifers as I can. So no way would I consider using him on heifers. He'd only be marginally better than the 7. The Angus Association recommends using bulls with a BW EPD of less than 3 on heifers. I would assume the Hereford Association has a similar recommendation? You could email them and ask. The website is [url=http://www.hereford.org]http://www.hereford.org[/url]. Good luck.... [/QUOTE]
