Fantastic looking cattle. I’m going to ask a question that might spark debate but that’s not my intention. How do they calve and do you have to be careful choosing bulls because of the cows’ confirmation?

Bull back end to right of black cows face.
He weighs 1000kg +
Lot of the cows getting up to his size so plenty of room to get the calf out.
We also wean off end if summer, so cow is fit, but not over fat. By then grass not as good so last few month outside they not putting to much into the calf inside it.

Blonde bull, tend to calf ok.
Use piedmontese ai on heifers for first calf to give them super easy first calving.
