[QUOTE="norriscathy, post: 214626, member: 2961"] Sounds like you've got good birth weights except for the one cow. Don't blame the bull if this is the only "out of bounds" birth weight he's thrown. The cow is actually more responsible for large birth weights than the bull. We've had several cows that just kept the calves to long in the "cooker" and delivered 110# + calves. Sometimes these cows would have a gestation period of up to 2 weeks longer than normal. A couple of extra days in the cooker can make a BIG difference in birth weight. IMO it sounds like you need to cull the cow not the bull. Norris [/QUOTE]
