[QUOTE="CKC1586, post: 641278, member: 816"] Yes there has been tremendous strides made in calving ease. I am speaking about North America, I am not totally sure what all is being done in Europe. The breed is gaining in popularity. I do know that the Anaboropi farm raises their Piedmontese more similiarly to dairy here than beef. Odd. But I guess it is lack of available land. There were some issues here early in their importation that really were more related to the breeders than to the breed in my opinion. There were some animals that should have been culled but folks didn't because they were trying to build up numbers, train wrecks resulted. They were also trying to breed those heifers too early. I have observed that if you pay attention to the matings as you should with any breed of choice you can resolve many of these calving problems. Again, my opinion. [/QUOTE]
