[QUOTE="Vicky the vet, post: 403438, member: 1026"] Well, the pelvis on some of these females would have a hard time calving a cat. The main problem I've seen is not huge calves, but fetopelvic disproportion from the dam's perspective. Some of the calves though are huge. I've seen 1700 lb simmie recip females need c'sections to get out one of these big calves....and they can usually calve 120 lbs unassisted..... Not my breed of choice, but a good money maker for my profession all the same..... [/QUOTE]
