[QUOTE="Supa Dexta, post: 1310329, member: 23321"] We're growing cows, not puppies. 80 IS a low BW. Look at a breed average, and then subtract whatever it takes to get to 80 lbs. Wow the math checks out; a 'low BW bull' would produce 80lb calves. If you have cows that can't handle an 80lb calf thats your problem.... Because its exactly that - a problem. I've seen 14 month old heifers calve an 80 lb calf for crying out loud. If they're coming out at 60lbs there better be 2 of them in there. [/QUOTE]
