Ok I am otally ok with breeding cows to bulls with bigger birth weights in order to get a really nice calf. The odds are you will lose a few, but heck I have lost a few using a calving ease bull. I know someone who has bred one of his best donors to Heat Wave 2 years in a row, he lost the calves both times and has come close to losing the cow because of it. Now he has decided that he likes the dead calf so much that he is gonna flush the cow to Heat Wave again this year, trying to get at least 8 eggs. He may not kill the cow, but the other cows he puts the eggs in will have a hard time getting the calves out let alone that they be live healthy bouncing bundles of joy. Please tell me that it is not just me that thinks this is wrong to do that. ??? ??? ???
