[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1360631, member: 18809"] I used Iron Hide quite a bit last fall ([url=http://genex.crinet.com/beef/index.php?action=DETAIL&code=1SM00154&lang=EN]http://genex.crinet.com/beef/index.php? ... 54&lang=EN[/url]). In the last 48 hours, we have had our first two calves born! This cow, a Shear Force sired older cow, calved first. Her average size calf is 80 to 90 pounds. She was 283 days along, and had this little 62 pound heifer calf! Spit her out like she was a sunflower seed! This cow has NEVER thrown white, even though she had been bred to white faced bulls before.

We have not weighed the second calf yet, but she is SMALLER than the first! [img]http://i63.tinypic.com/2j4er9z.jpg[/img] (older picture for reference point, that was her calf about 4 years ago) [img]http://i66.tinypic.com/2la3sle.jpg[/img] I did use him on some heifers, due in the spring. I would venture to say he will throw little calves, considering the size of these two little girls! [/QUOTE]
