[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1005748, member: 14661"] I may be wrong as the current across breed epd's don't have them listed but I think I remember red polls as being about two pounds heavier than angus on birthweight which would put a calving ease red poll right in there with a moderate angus. Angus with either a proven epd for calving ease or a pedigree stacked with calving ease on both sides is far and away the easiest choice because they're readily available in quantity and you have a huge market for the calves. As far as age, breed them to fit your desired calving season. If you have to wait until they're eighteen months, fine. But you can also breed at fourteen months if it's time to breed in your area.
