[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 1108104, member: 9115"] After reading these posts, maybe it's a northern thing. Of course, I am not as far north as some. I calve in the winter, and BW makes a difference in how fast they get up. Have read where someone comments on a small calf getting up and taking off. Maybe some, but in 0 degrees they have a tough time, so do bigger ones, just not as much. I'll find a cold, needing help, small calf way before I'll find one 15lbs heavier. Dun has a good herd of cows, but could he if he wanted take his (mis)managed herd, apply the same (mis)management, and get the BW up 15 lbs and still have near zero calving problems"? His WW are fine now, but would it add 30 or so to WW? Dun, I can see that the cows calves didn't get a lot bigger as they matured, I always thought my heifers weaned nearly as big a calf as my 5 year olds. Please don't go out and buy semen from a 130 BW bull from what you might think, you might have read, that; you might have thought someone said------------never mind. gs [/QUOTE]
