[QUOTE="Davy_g, post: 7886029, member: 3544"] I tend to jump about a bit with heifers to get different blood and once i get hard calving i dont repeat the experience. I used Ark Maverick on everything when I had him. Not a bother. I served my first Maverick bred heifer to Herbert. I had to pull a fairly big bull calf at 295 days. The second two were Ai'd to Glacon last year. One was a section - bull calf at 295 days. The second an unassisted heifer at 294 days. Both lovely calves born October and November '21. My heifers are too well fleshed and to pull them down for autumn calving is really difficult so I've chickened out and went back to Wagyu with the 3 im serving now. The freezer needs filling again anyway. I take pelvic measurements of all bulling heifers and cull the smallest 25%. Seems there is no exact science to it all. I need to breed more bone (yet maintain or improving calving ability) as i can easily push a weaned calf off its legs and feet with just a few Kg of meal a day. A problem with continually selecting easy fleshing heifers. [/QUOTE]
