[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1768308, member: 24027"] Because the bull is only part of the equation. And calving ease doesn't necessarily mean low birth weight. My heifers average 70+ lb calves and I only use a high CE bull. But I've also moved those bulls over with the cows, paired with a terminal bull, and there's honestly not much difference in birth weight. Or growth, for that matter. I rely on my cows to develop and raise strong, healthy calves - regardless of which bull bred them. This is a first calf heifer raising a whopper of a heifer calf and she was bred by Johnson, who was CED +16. And I used him on my cows off/on for years. Now that's a milk face! [/QUOTE]
