[QUOTE="Lbass, post: 1616299, member: 38465"] I have 9 heifers, Had a Black angus bull with a nice Calving Ease number. That bull blew out a joint in his back hip 5 days in. I couldn't find a bull I liked so I moved them into the cow herd and the 4 bulls there. 2 of those bulls were young and weren't intended to be used on heifers. As they have matured their calving ease numbers have got even worse. Checked today. Now they sit at CE of 9 and 10. Breed average is 12. Birth weight is 0.0 and 0.5 Breed average is -1.3 They are bred to calve at a little over 24 months. I'ld like to be giving them a little grain because I've not been happy with their growth, but I don't want to make things worse. 5 are 3rd stage, 3 are 2nd, 1 caught me sleeping when I was sorting. I don't like calving heifers anyways, Now I feel I've really screwed myself. Any words of wisdom is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
