Haven't seen Common Sense on here much anymore, Is Joe Spit em out easy calving on a heifer or watch with caution?

Thanks,

The info on the Nelson's website says the first few calves averaged 68-81 lbs. out of first calf heifers, all with unassisted births.  Went down to the dispersal sale and I think the average of all his calves last year was 78 lbs.  I'm sure more people will have more info, but that's what I know.

I would recommend breeding just a handful of heifers to him rsc.  Sounds like the verdict may be out yet

We have a group coming in the next month, I'll let you know how they do here.

I've got four coming starting late March. Two angus and two maine, used Joe at Brad and Juli's recommendation. Hopefully it works like I'm hoping.

I've got 8 bred to him coming in March.  Juli and Brad are promoting him heavily for calving ease.  I haven't heard any problems yet.
