Couldn't find the original thread I started a month or so ago, but wanted to give you some reports on what I've heard so far.
The breeder of P2C calved 11 1st calf heifers to him. 10 of the 11 settled to sexed female P2C......and the 11 head averaged 68#. There was one of the 11 that had significant birth weight (90's).....but was made perfect skeletally and came right out with assistance. For the most part, the others were unassisted or barely assisted so Brent could go on and get some other work done. 2/3's of them were baldies.
No Bull breds have ALL been unassisted or barely assisted, and the owners are LOVE'IN them....once again, several baldies....and occasionally a solid black one when you were sure you'd get a baldy! (just like Pale Face)
Various reports from across the country have ALL been positive.....MANY heifers with birth weight in the clubby pedigrees....were either unassisted or barely assisted. I heard of one cow that always has big ones, had one in the 90's but came out fine.
P2C has Bando (Angus), Black Destiny (Sm) and Dream On (Sm) and Who, ALL CALVING EASE SIRES in his pedigree.....couple that with the way he is designed, and THAT"S WHY I bought him, gambling on him being my GO TO CALVING EASE BULL......but you never know until they're proven.
I feel the DESIGN of the BULL has about as much to do with his calving ease as his pedigree.....look at the bulls that have proven themselves for a decade and I see MANY similarities phenotypically.
