Also what are some good maine calving ease bulls, that will add depth of flank, and a more girly neck?? What about some structural soundness???

NEVER MIND THIS PART I FIGURED IT OUT
I have been hearing a lot about calves that have a lot of bone, have troubles coming out, I dont see why bone would cause a hard calving???

Just a guess at what I think might be happening. More bone sometimes equals more frame which equals bigger shoulders & hips which in turn can create more calving difficulty.

As mentioned previous post, the larger the bone in my experience has meant exactly that big hips, shoulders and sometimes head. Rarely do you get lots of bone with little shoulders and little hips.
