[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1448727, member: 19683"] For us more muscles is just an advantage. However, they better calve okay, or will be culled just like others. We get maybe one or max two more extreme heifers every year for the past few years. Gonna have four of them calving next year for the 1st time. We plan to AI some Charx and Limox cows with Belgian Blue next spring, so hopefully will get some good roan replacements. I like more muscled cattle. Plus we get paid more for them, than average. However, try to have as many cows as possible calving without our assistance. This year had to help for 5 out of 40+ calvings. Two were heifers (104lbs bull calves), one breach, one time twins were coming together and one time the calf was too big for a small 2nd calver(119lbs). You probably would like this sister more: [img]https://s26.postimg.org/62gpd55m1/21200461_1396636997093001_2007571585501132390_o.jpg[/img] The same breeding, just she was born much slimmer than her sister, and is less muscled. The black boy had 117lbs birth weight, so I'd rather avoid him using in our herd. Our cows tend to have bigger calves, so better stick with lighter BW bulls. [/QUOTE]
