[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1708370, member: 968"] ALL BREEDS have easy calving and HARD calving sires out there. Too much emphasis is put on CE for the whole herd. Keep CE high, your WW will go low. To me, growing out your heifers to a decent size for their breed makes more difference in their ability to calve at 24 months old in BCS of 6. If you feel the need to get a super CE sire, pick a "spread" bull that has great growth. Lots of them out there - at least in my breed. Have your cake and eat it too. [/QUOTE]
