[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1506391, member: 1715"] I have used some AI calving ease bulls (like Conquest) on heifers, and retained some of these calves. They are usually smaller cows at 1100 to 1300#, and I am fine with that. I have one calving ease bull who usually throws calves with BWs in the 70s that come a week early. Now some of these calving ease x calving ease calves are coming out really small - - BWs in the 60s - - and look a bit narrow like a kid goat. Seems like a poor match. Do you have a BW cut off below which you will not retain heifers, or do you only look at WW? [/QUOTE]
