What are some of the best calving ease bulls, clubby and purebred. Bulls don't have to be just for heifers. Just good low birth weight bulls.  Clean or Dirty.


Thanks in advance.

Look for me at the State Fair of Texas soon!

I've had two JPJ's so far and I don't think either one will weigh 60 lbs soaking wet. Both unassisted out of heifers.

search the planet for calving ease bulls
this has been covered at least 100 times (OK that is exaggerated)
calving ease deals with more than BW, must also consider shape of calf, breeding of cow, nutrition, pelvic area etc
BW EPDs with low accuracy are meaningless
BW EPDs with high accuracy may not mean much with your cow or heifer

Sorry for starting a topic that has been covered before. You could just skip over the topic if you are tired of talking about calving ease bulls.

I Did search the planet before I made the post. I just appreciate you answering the question that was posted. As always your opinions are very helpful. It's people such as yourself that makes SP so awesome. Could you ask for anything more?
