[QUOTE="TSR, post: 158279, member: 434"] When they will calve is also very important as Frankie has asked. If they will spend their last trimester in the hotter part of the year the calves should be somewhat smaller, so therefore easier calving. I have bred heifers to Angus bulls with greater than 3.0 on birthweight and have not had any problems. Remember that the conformation of the bull especially his shoulders (smooth shoulder or non smooth shoulders) will play a role in the delivery. I have just never thought one or two pounds difference in a bulls bw epd made that much difference, even in heifers. JMHO [/QUOTE]
