[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 532376, member: 1258"] I think you said that well tup.:) There are hard calving angus and easy calving angus but as a breed they aren't known for being hard calving. The guy may have just told you 20% because he wants you to watch them and not expect no problems. You can take the easiest calving bull and cow and still get a leg back or twins that are trying to come together. We switched to Red Angus from other breeds partly because we don't have the pulls we once did, they are easy calving but I still watch for problems because you never know, especially with heifers. Some of them just get plain scared because they have no clue what is going on and by second year they are great. msscamp was dead on with her statements. You don't want to watch cattle or deal with cattle problems then the only way to do it is to not have cattle. They take time and effort but at the end of a good calving season it is well worth it.:) [/QUOTE]
