[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 145040, member: 2653"] Mike, I agree with you about pushing the envelope. If you have a cow that has calved her third calf, she should be very low risk of calving trouble. I forgot the study, but the percentage of calving difficulty drops big time by a cows third calf. That's when I would push the envelope. Of if I had some of caustic's tigers (bigger cows), assuming that his cows are 4 or 5 years old, I wouldn't hesitate to breed to a higher BW bull. I would only think you need to take it easy on heifers, and maybe their second calf. Then, assuming they've had no problems, their fair game. [/QUOTE]
