    heifer temperament

    I pulled a calf from a heifer 4 days ago and had the heifer and calf penned with another pair, the heifer seemed to like to chase the other calf and headbutt it so I separated the pairs.

    Expected or acceptable losses

    That's very true but I was saying that sometimes mother nature has the final say meaning sometimes there's nothing you can do or the vet, it's out of your hands.

    time to look for a bull

    That's kinda what I thought was more shape. A 70 lb calf that's short could cause problems where as a 70 lb calf that's longer and skinny would be easier for the heifer. But being the same BW but a different CED

    Expected or acceptable losses
