[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1506434, member: 24565"] Is it just me, or are some of the calving ease bulls narrow? Yes. But you can find some of all cattle to be narrow. But for true low BW to occur something has to be removed from the calf. Just select for it and muscling is as easy to remove as it is to increase since the % heritability is high on the trait. In the dull middle ground, the lack of a lot of unnecessary culling makes life mundane and easier. Not bad to admit to laziness if it makes life easier, more fun and aids profit. Or at least I have grown a callous to not mind anymore. I selectively use a specific calving ease bull via AI back and forth in the mix. Not so much due to calving ease but due to the total package. An older bull with a track record and good stuff here. Just what I like and probably what others do not. Each to his own. [/QUOTE]
