When I first read this Alias jumped into my mind but after looking, the BWs do not scream calving ease. However even though the wights may average over 90 I have never touched one, they came easy. Would really be careful using him, you do not want to use on a cow with any clubby in her, or one that is not structurally sound.
Now if you want true calving ease, I have used a PB Charolais bull with great success's. All 3 heifers I have kept, and I rarely keep heifers from calving ease sires. One of these have already calved and the other is due the 30th. Great looking calves.

Out of curiosity, have you ever AI'd a three year old first time heifer with success? Thx
Actually yes once before. One is a show heifer that didn't get bred last year and one is a show heifer that didn't stick AI last year and didn't get the opportunity to be with the bull. I don't see any reason they won't breed.
Just how old is this heifer? 2? 3? Why wasn't she bred as a yearling as is the normal course of events? This is long tome to have a female with out a calf.
That out of the way the obvious names to use are:
LT Bluegrass- A smaller framed calving ease bull with a positive REA.
SVY Kaboom- with a -3.7 BWT EPD and plenty of show ring credentials the natural choice for PB show heifers
Baldrige Fasttrack 82 F- The breed standard for calving ease.
Oakdale Duke- a darkhors, great numbers
If you can get the semen:
Winn Mann Lanza-A good bull with fantastic calving and growth. Lt just bought the american rights to this bull
Sparrows Fargo- A Lanza son owned by Wells Charolais

If You want a smoke bull, Maybe look at Milk man, Have had some real good calves out of him, not a heifer bull, but Honestly these are not heifers, so could work real well.Mark H said:
As for the purebbred bulls mark mentioned, I happen to own the Fargo bull with Wells, Not a good choice, Calving ease yes, Muscle NO. He is the worst 37,000 I have ever spent, I own the bull and will never breed another cow to him in my life.
HF,
None of thed bulls I mentioned could be considered power bulls. Tanks for the heads up on Fargo, I know he is no muscle bull bull but is he a heifer bull? Any other problems to watch for?
What about the Lanza bull? How is he working for LT?
