[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14490"] Pretty close but not exactly. Although usually a larger framed heifer will have a larger pelvic opening it doesn't always work out that way in fact. Of the two Red Angus heifers I have that had pelvic measurements done as yearlings, the 6.7 FS has a 155 the 5 FS has 178. They may be exceptions, but it's those exceptions that will bite you. I consider for a normal calving ease bull a minimum of 150 for pelvic, I really prefer around 160 but if all else is what I'm looking for I'll accept the smaller size. dunmovin farms > Don't worry about actual > measurements.
