Agriculture Canada and Alberta Record of Performance calving ease records on 54,139 calves from 3,338 sires of 18 breeds were used to evaluate sires by comparisons across breeds of sire. An objective scoring system was applied to the calving ease codes to derive appropriate weights for each category rather than using percentage of unassisted births or assuming equal intervals between categories. Common sire and error variance components were assumed for all breeds of sire. Heritability of calving ease under the model used was estimated to be.10 by maximum likelihood. Prediction of sire values for calving ease scores of future calves were calculated by best linear unbiased prediction procedures. Shorthorn, Hereford, and Angus sires caused relatively few calving difficulties, while Maine-Anjou sires caused more difficulties. Age of dam and sex of calf differences were also important. The range of sire evaluations for calving ease was narrow, but the bulls in either extreme could be identified.
