[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1685626, member: 968"] Sooo right. I believe a first calf heifer should be able to handle 70-90# calf, unassisted - and mine do. Like everyone else, half my calf crop is males. They are my "cash-flow", sold by October each year. Pounds = money. And if I want to get good $$ out of my breeding females, they need growth also. People don't pay for dinks. I have really been focusing on more "spread" bulls - good CE with LOTS of growth. Too many "popular" bulls are pushing the window of being "moderate" and "easy calving". I do have to stay up to date on "popular" bulls - but I am being pickier than normal. I would like WW & YW more like 85 - 125 with at least a +10 CE. The Simmental has a lot of good spread bulls out there. OMF Epic - CE 15 BW -1 with WW 95 and YW 152 - long as a freight train! black bull KBHR Sniper CE 20 BW -2 WW79 YW 127 red bull [/QUOTE]
