What is your experience with Breathe Easy?  I have a maine heifer and cant decide if i want to breed her to Breathe Easy or I 80.  Suggestions?

I had about ten breathe easys out of char cross heifers and two i80, only pulled one of the breathe easys. The breathe easys have better growth in my opinion but maybe that's cause I only have to i80. If you want a high % Maine I'd do with i80. Before I bought these heifers I didnt care for breathe easy and I loved i80 but I'm not sure anymore I think there both great choices

She is a Wisdom (Sooner x FJH Countess 400K) x Maine cow if this helps any.  Thanks for the input!

Don't have much experience with breathe easy but Jason Shatto had a breathe easy out of a first calf heifer that was awful nice

We are happy with Breathe Easy, though we have not used him a lot.  Here is a Breathe Easy heifer our of a first calf Triple X daughter.  She was born unassisted.  Not the best quality picture because I took it with my phone.
