[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1164304, member: 12607"] Ron While the bull still has low accuracy on his epds, everything for several generations, top and bottom, is stacked for calving ease. With the pre-partum issues you identified several weeks back and the relative 'over-conditioning' we're accustomed to seeing in your cattle, the 'blame', if any is there to be assigned, probably falls on the heifer. Certainly looked big enough that she should have been able to deliver a 112Y calf easily - but genes don't always align the way we expect them to. But, an overconditioned heifer, with lots of intrapelvic fat may have difficulty delivering a calf that in a lesser BCS, she'd have just lain down and spit out uneventfully. I understand your concern, but knowing what's behind this bull, I'd be sleeping peacefully while awaiting the next calf. [/QUOTE]
