I'm going to breed my Purebred Simmental heifer (Triple C Invasion x Black Joker) soon and I was wondering if the 1/2 blood Simmental bull, Grizzly, is a calving ease. I checked on the Simmental website and he has a -2.0 birthweight EPD and his actual birth weight is 65 lbs. Has anyone used him on heifers or have any idea if he is a calving ease bull?

had one last year out of a heifer and it was probably 60#'s unassisted but i could see the shoulder issue coming up potentially
heifer is sweet keeping it as a replacement only con would be a bit smaller frame size
