[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 192537, member: 2308"] Ok, our average BW is between 90 and 95 lbs. We rarely ever have a calf that won't suck, and even then quite often it isn't our biggest calf. We have a couple of cows that will throw 115+ lb calves, and we don't have to help them at all. Preferrably all the calves would be in the 85 - 95 lb range for us, but that is not the case. Usually the calves that need assistance are the ones that had a long hard birth. Cold weather has something to do with it too, and so do genetics. Perhaps we are lucky, but I am not going to mess with a good thing ;-) [/QUOTE]
