[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1676259, member: 24016"] If you don't believe SC has an impact on female fertility, look at the Limi breed in depth. When they were first imported, they were notorious for small SC and late maturity (among other issues, ie DOCILITY lol!). The biggest breeders in this country made a concerted effort to change this in the 90's and 00's. The generally adopted rule of thumb was that they sold no bull as a breeder with less than a 32" SC as a yearling. Again, this is a low number, but considering where they were before, this benchmark was a huge stride in the right direction. Now, Limis can stand shoulder to shoulder with other breeds in regards to SC and the females are now known for their early maturity. [/QUOTE]
