Have her pelvic measred before you decide to keep her, we have done C-sections on every one of our Heat Wave heifers, and we have never had to do them on anything else we have ever had, we will never keep another Heat Wave for a cow at our house.

If you keep her try maybe SAV Final Answer, Mytty In Focus, or some other proven calving ease Angus bull for that 1st calf.  As Jill said 1st try to measure her pelvic area. She may be out of a cow that had a large pelvic area and be in better position to have a calf than some of the other clubbier HW females.
