[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1529613, member: 968"] First calf heifers do not have to be bred for a "throw-away" calf. You are doing a great job raising these heifers. I agree they are probably BCS 6. Here's a site for you to look at: [url=http://factsheets.okstate.edu/documents/ansi-3283-body-condition-scoring-of-beef-cows/]http://factsheets.okstate.edu/documents ... beef-cows/[/url] And I agree, the Angus bull Bankroll can't walk (based on the video). There are tons of easy calving bulls of many breeds. Just remember, just because they are bred to have a small calf - sh$t happens. Tangled twins, backwards calf, head back, leg back. Abnormal presentations are not real common, but also not "uncommon". Not trying to scare you at all. Just reminding you this is real life and crap happens. Be prepared. [/QUOTE]
