[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1815043, member: 968"] And - duh - I knew you were a SHE!! Didn't know you were a vet. Sneaky little bugger! I'm in total agreement on pushing your cattle. I don't worry about a heifer having a 90# + calf. They just spit them out. 100# is pushing it - but some of them have had them that big without assistance. Here in US, breeders are depending on CE sires way too much. Right now, we are dragging a 2 yr old cow/calf pair to shows. He weighed 94# BW, unassisted, and has grown like a weed. Weighs over 900# and is just over 7 months old. Dam, Java, weighs 1400#. Sire was a CE / growth bull. That's the kind I like to use for CE. And no, we have not pushed her or her calf with a lot of grain. They have been getting 3# of 50% corn & 50% filler pellets. He didn't eat his grain until about 45 days ago. They were out with the herd until mid May (born 1-1 ---- yes, legit BD) [/QUOTE]
