[QUOTE="SKF Show Cattle, post: 413369, member: 4313"] True not all angus bulls are calving ease of course any bull can thow a large calf even if it is a claving ease bull. Our Maine bull who is a BK Power Plus son throws smaller birth weight calves then our angus bull but the angus calves are smaller build. Birth weight is not the only factor you also have to consider the build of the calf. Our shorthorns have been bigger build calves and have had calving problems. Our shorthorn bull on paper looks to be calving ease but we lost an 86lb bull calf last year because he was build like a tank and then we had a 102lb unassisited bull calf from our angus bull on a 1st time heifer because he was smaller built. Who is your heifer out of? Just remember if you deside to use a shorthorn make sure it is TH and PHA free because a TH or PHA calf WILL cause serious calving problems. Remember a live healthy calf that came unassited is the most important thing with a heifer you can always go for the a flashier show calf the next time. Good Luck!!! [/QUOTE]
