[QUOTE="dun, post: 996541, member: 34"] You can really significantly decrease calving issues by doing the pelvic on all heifers. It's not fool proof but it helps.This year we are culling a retained heifer because she failed her pelvic measurement, her mother had a large measurement as a heifer and this one is so small she wouldn;t be able to pass anything much bigger then a puppy. It is heritable but every once in a while you get one of those throwback/anomaly kind of deals. Some friends did pelvics on a bunch of heifers all sired by one particualr bull. They all had way more then minimum size, when they started calving they had to do Csections on most of them. The pelvic as 2 year olds was only a hair larger then it had been as yearlings. That's the anomaly [/QUOTE]
