[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1313433, member: 24816"] I have had a couple Jersey cows to calve to Charolais bulls with no problems, most of the Jerseys I had were after I started using Angus and Hereford bulls, no problems from them either. The only time that I had calving difficulty from a Jersey cow, it was due to a leg being turned back, to which I don't hold it against the cow or bull. The calves from the crossbred matings were always very vigorous at birth. I did notice that sometimes the AI calves by Jersey bulls would be a little weak and slow to get up and going. It very well could have been factors other than genetics such as nutrition issues. I gave them colostrum and helped them to their feet, then they would be ok from there on. On a side note, Jerseys heifer calves can start cycling very early. [/QUOTE]
