[QUOTE="shortstuff, post: 507890, member: 7807"] If you are worried about guaranteed calving ease, use a Lowline bull. The calves will all be light at birth, but you should wean 450 - 550 lb. steer calves (I've weaned 600+ lb. 1/2 blood Lowlines), that is, if the cows are pretty decent. Lowline bulls are perfect for virgin heifers. I'm biased, but I really like the Doc Holliday bull...

Half the genes that effect birth weight are inherited from the female. That's why if you want to play it safe on big birth weight heifers, a Lowline bull is the way to go. [/QUOTE]
