[QUOTE="UG, post: 121431, member: 714"] There are Simmental bulls that will sire smaller calves that will come easily and there are Simmental bulls that will sire calves the size of a small car (o.k., I'm exagerating a little). The Simmental association has computer generated scores (called expected progeny data or E.P.D.'s) for things like calving ease, birth weight, etc. These are a good indicators, though not guaranteed. Bulls that are registered with the American Simmental Assn. will have EPDs. Not real familiar with Blondes, though I know 30 years ago they had a little bit of a reputation for siring big calves (then again so did Simmentals, Maines, etc. back then). [/QUOTE]
