[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1815049, member: 19683"] I might have mentioned the vet part or might have not 😅 It's been 2,5 years since I got my degree. Since then I started doing AI myself and working as a local cow vet abit. That's a real good pair for the first timer! Yup, I have set my standart for a heifer to be able to calve unassisted 95-100lbs calf, with some exceptions, if the heifer is smaller, more muscles or a calf is build like a brick. Don't want anything bigger, which do sometimes happen, but most of the time ropes and myself is enough for assistance, or even they handle that themselves. I know that for most such bw would be too high, but it is already achieved here, so that's just a normal requirement for heifers. [/QUOTE]
