That's missing the point of these bulls. They're there to breed quality when crossed to a plain cow, so the attention the pure breds need is kind of irrelevant. It's the same as people whining about how soft a bfl is....yes you need to be mindful of problems but at the end of the day they are designed for crossing, and to get the ultimate performance in the crossbred offspring you need to be looking to the extremes in the pure breds. The OP is at least addressing the issues of importance to the commercial man (which many if not most aren't) and that should be commended. Yes you could breed for a ceasarian free pure bred but the bulls would probably throw crap cross breds for the commercial man. Everything's a compromise. It depends where your priorities are.I don't think a breeder of breeding bulls should be claiming they are very
happy to have had the odd natural calving instead of a C section!
Especially when said breeder states its a good year when they have only done 40% of C sections when in a typical year the figure is much higher.
If there was ever a bad advert for blue bulls the comments of the OP has made in this and other threads would be it sadly!
