[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 6660"] Jeff, I think you make an excellent point. Would I be somewhat correct by saying, "It is not the breed, but genetics within a breed, in this case for calving easy, that significantly influences easy calving tendencies for heifers as well as cows. I have friends that breed hiefers to Waygu for calving easy, and my reply is that within that breed you could get a high birth weight bull that could contribute to problems. > I have used black Simmentals > exclusively for the past 15 years. > We use AI sires from GENEX/CRI, > and have not pulled a calf for > several years, heifers included. > The calves grow well, are docile, > and are well accepted by the > buyers.
