Description:
Breeders should be aware of how individual sire breeds combine with breeds or crossbred types ofcows to produce calves for sale or for replacements. Using sires of a breed that influences larger birth weights and greater calving difficulty could offset any advantage gained by that sire breed in calf growth rate or carcass characteristics.
