What is calving ease?
A monthly news letter that deals with the issues of raising cows in the U.S. Northeast. Calving ease is also the selection of bulls and females (cows and heifers) based on EPDs (Expected Progeny Differences). Calving ease EPDs are divided into two categories: Direct calving ease and Maternal calving ease. DCE is an estimate of calving ease of calves sired by or out of this individual; basically, it is determined by the size, shape, etc. of the calf produced by a particular bull or cow. For bulls, this is the expected calving ease (or ease of birth) compared to other bulls when bred to equal cows. For females, this is the expected calving ease of a calf she might produce excluding her own maternal influence. In other words, this is the relative ease of being born of calves conceived by the female with maternal calving factors equalized. Another way of looking at this is the calving ease expected from embryos implanted into exactly equal recipients. MCE is the relative ease of calving experienced by daughters of this individual; basically, it is determined by the size, internal structure, uterine environment, etc., of the calving female. This is an estimate of the ease with which daughters of this individual would give birth compared to daughters of other individuals, as if all daughters were bred to same sire and managed equally. The above is from Beef Cattle Science 7th ed., Chapter 4: Selecting Beef Cattle, p. 121.

How do you keep beef cattle from producing milk after calving?
You do not! In a beef herd the mother (dam) is kept for many years to breed the 'beef' offspring that spend 7 to 9 months sucking mothers milk and grazing. This is a suckler herd. A beef breeder. Answer 2: Like the above poster said, you do NOT keep beef cows from producing milk after calving. However, the only reason you should let beef cows (or a beef cow) dry up is if her calf died and there is no other orphan calf she should or can foster. Other than that, beef cows should not be dried up because they have a calf to nurse, which needs their milk in order to grow into a healthy heifer/bull/steer. Beef cows are not like dairy cows where their calves are taken away from them at birth: with beef cows, the calves stay on their mommas until it's time to wean them at 6 to 10 months of age.
