[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 149720, member: 852"] That's what I'm looking for. I have here a holstein heifer I'm planning to keep around as a nurse cow, and I'd prefer not to deal with calving problems for her first calf. I'd like to breed her to the lowest birth weight bull I can find, probably angus, for a calf that she can spit out without even knowing she did it. LOL. I want a calf that would be up on its feet in minutes and looking for a drink. And then something that would grow well - doesn't have to be anything spectacular though, and as I'd probably end up selling around 400-600lbs, I don't care about yearling weight, mature weight, milk, fertility, etc etc. I just want a calf that I'm not going to have to worry about. Hope that's not asking too much. LOL. It would probably be closer to the end of February or early March before I breed her, so I have some time yet to think about it. I don't completely understand those EPD numbers, so if anyone just has some names of bulls they'd recommend and reasons why they like those bulls, well...that'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks. ;-) [/QUOTE]
