like her alot   

This has been beat to death on here many times in the past, but calving ease is overemphasized in the busines.  If you calve out enough heifers, you are going to have to pull some - even if you breed them to longhorns (which is pretty commonly done by commercial cattleman in the south).  Plenty of assisted births on heifers have nothing to do with small pelvic size or too large/wrong shaped calves. 

We calve 50-60 heifers per year, probably have to help 10 +/- to some degree.  It's been two years since I've had to assist a single cow( our cows used to be those heifers).

and kinda like this haha <deadhorse>

Thanks guys. We also are thinking of keeping a peer pressure heifer. Shes also out of a first calf heifer. She came unassisted. Really pleased with her development-would recommend pp on hfrs!
