[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1817481, member: 24816"] I agree with what you are saying. We have used low birthweight Angus bulls pretty extensively and retained some daughters of several bulls and haven’t had any out of the ordinary issues with calving when using Angus bulls, or a Hereford bull. The only real issues we have had was with one Hereford bull that was sold as a calving ease bull but found out the hard way he wasn’t. What I am seeing EPD wise between Charlo compared to several other well known calving ease bulls Mytty In Focus, SAV Final Answer, SAV Bismarck is that they have very high CED as well as CEM, while Charlo still has a CED above what is considered a heifer bull, but his CEM is extremely low. I think there is something more than lightweight going on here. [/QUOTE]
