Just courious what does everyone breed their 2nd calf heifers to? Do you like to go back to the calving ease bulls such as I 80, Breathe Easy, Ali, etc. or do you take the next step up in breeding and use a bit harder calving bull?

If it's their second calf, they are no longer heifers, they are cows.

This year we used Walks Alone...

I will admit I'm on the more conservative opinion on breeding clubby heifers.  I go with angus for first calf, then clubby calving ease for 2nd calf.  Then open it up.  For the angus breeding I use sexed semen hoping for replacements...
