[QUOTE="mrvictordomino, post: 1541229, member: 14333"] Pre calving management and genetics can and will play a big part in birthweights. In this case both are unknown in this thread but if I had to guess it would lean toward the genetics of the heifers. I can guarantee you that these results are not possible using one of my line breed Polled Hereford bulls. Four decades of using no extremes helps insure consistency. The hybrid vigor gained from crossing still should not produce these extremes in calving without some heavyweight genetics showing up in the background. Will add to say in forty years of selling bulls I did have one complaint of heifers having some calving issues..... Genetics of the females unknown though. [/QUOTE]
