Both seem to make them to hard ribbed and have seen some unforgivens that got plenty leggy so I would say moderate easy fleshing extremely deep bodied ones

I had 4 unforgiven calves last year. They all where huge at birth , lost one and pulled all but one. They were all out of 8 to 10 year old cows and all but one had major structural problems. I would use smooth sailing. One other thing they didnt have alot of hair. I hope this helps .

I have one Unforgiven here and will never use the bull again.  Huge at birth, no hair, and not structurally correct enough out of a donor cow.

That is a shame about Unforgiven. I have seen some good calves this spring. Are you sure this isn't a ploy to get more free semen? (lol)

Saw 3 really good  Unforgivens  last week. A real cool Bad Habit heifer and the best Dr. Who calf I have ever seen. He said the unforgivens were in the 90's which isn't bad.

she prolapsed too
Double shot of full flush there probably doesnt help the structure issue or birth weight.
