[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1393046, member: 22295"] There used to be a few big ranches that ran jersey bull with all of their heifers and had good results for years. We usually use either a corriente or a corriente/Angus cross. I don't trust Angus BW EPD's. Have seen some wrecks using an BW EPD wonder. Then we bought one that the breeder stated wasn't a heifer bull and his EPD's indicated he wasn't. He accidently bred 7 heifers we thought were bred and they all calved easy with small calves. His BW was 87# I believe but he hasn't thrown a calf over 80#. Most int he low 70's. But he is crippled now. I broke down and using a low BW grandson of HD. I will hold my breath until I see the first calves. A man had him and had no home for him and we have lots of wheat so going to try him. Again if I wanted to breed to something that I wouldn't likely have to help them calve it would be either a Jersey or a corriente cross. [/QUOTE]
