irish Whiskey on heifers?

[CAB]

Just asking, we have a few IW calves being born & so far they have all been 70+or- lbs and shaped right for birth. Any of you that have experience with IW, what do you think about using him on heifers? Could he be a lot worse than some of the "CALVING EASE" bulls?

All of my Irish Whiskey calves have come small.  Biggest was around 70 pounds.  I have a Chill Factor Donor that had a Irish Whiskey Bull calf that weighed 50 at birth, then grew like crazy after he got here.  Sold him as a bull and all of his calves have been in that 50-60 pound range.

We have had really good luck with him, but we used him on purebred Angus

Jill have you used him on heifers at all? The calves that we have gotten so far have all been good shaped for calving ease and I am tempted to try him on heifers. I have liked all that I have seen so far on a variety of cows.

No, they were all mature cows, births were all between 70-80
