If you have a "heifer" bred to Fedex , I would be watching her real close when she calves.

I had a heifer calf out of Fedex march 15 out of my heifer. attached is a picture. She weighed 110lbs. We had to pull her, she layed there for about 4 hours before she could get up and started nursing.
Her mamma is the red and white cow in the background, shes all white except tips of ears and nose. Shes got a wide top, decent muscled getting better as she is growing, not too square but mom could be to blame there. I'd like to have her a little deeper but she might mature with depth. her back left leg seems to be bowed a little but dont know how or what happened there.
also is a pic of her mamma, sorry for the poor pic

If you are referring to me: I can afford a Solution son-in fact Ive got Final Solution posted for sale at roughly $26 per straw-I have also been involved with the following National or Louisville Champions- Deertrail Awesome, UB MadMax,Echodale TopDraft,Deertrail T- Bone,Studley, Proud Augustus, LGS Lawrence Jackson,Abertees Awesome and a couple bulls that have proven usefull,and or have had daughters stand in at least second place or above at a national or national Jr Show- UB DTR Junior Walker, and one thats up and coming-with LEGITIMATE calving ease-UB DMCC Top Fuel.Niot all were calving ease-but we didnt BS anybody about it.There are various theories about the almost 0 BW EPDS on Solution-and even an in-effectual Secretary had to do something about that MADE OVER MYTH-but not before some calvings went terribly wrong. You are right-I cant afford to pay the vet bills or see animals suffer.Although the most females Ive had is ten-there have also been a few all American show hiefers and are starting to be some shorthorn plusses that have done OK-like DTR Tafetta last year-who was second only to the top Sullivan plus hiefer in points-I bred half the pedigree.I didnt have a son of Solution at the 2004 Denver show-I did have the National Spring Calf Champion -however-and if Im not mistaken-HD BLOODSTONE was third in his class-and K-Kim Callahan was second-but Im more concerned with live calves-and alot of the ones in Southern Kansas out of some of my breeding may or may not have someone to help.

Mr Tenenbaum speaks the truth. Maybe you should think before you speak. You're not fooling anybody on here. Stating he couldn't afford a solution son is ridiculous. I wouldn't give a squirt of piss for anything out of solution. But that's just me. Maybe with your deep pockets you can buy another bull to fix all the things that need fixed using a solution son. Unless you're so loaded you don't care about a feed bill. If so, feeds hides a lot of flaws.

This is a perfect example of the divide in this breed. A heifer having a 115 lb calf. Took four hours to get up. Come on folks. Come on.

never has fed ex been promoted as a calving ease bull. When we get ready to ai cows this year gonna give mark a call he seems to know everything.We had a jpj bull calf weighed 102 lbs that bull is well none for low birth weight we didnt cuss the bull come to find out its the cow she has a big one every year.So if you get it all figured out share it with us would love to know!!!!!!
Wow that post was a year and a half ago. The heifer had the calf and it was a 74 pd BW with not much problem. We are still new to the cattle bussiness and I may not understand but I thougth the (expected) EPDs on Sull Fed-Ex were heifer safe. That is the main reason I bred her that way.

You are VERY lucky! Good luck in the breed. When I started in shorthorns 8 yrs ago I also believed alot of the bs that people were spouting about this and that my advice to you is to go and meet as many people as you can and call and talk to them. Ask about the different bulls you are interested in using and see who has been using them. Trump, Rodeo Drive, Sonny, Solution, etc... are going to be ON AVERAGE larger bw cattle. The JPJ, Captain, Double Duty, Sneed bulls will be ON AVERAGE lower bw easyer calving bulls. Again good luck with the Shorthorns they are a wonderful breed of cattle. Oh and you might not think so by this website, but the people are really nice in person.

Of course the cow contributes. Which most cows in what you consider to be the cool click are all bred similar. Then breeding them to another similar bred bull only makes it worse. I'd take marks breeding opinion or advice all day long. What bulls are you using AI this year? Naturally?
