[QUOTE="deaconcreek, post: 215100, member: 3444"] The cow is a big like I said, we have measured her and estimate her weight at close to 1700#. She dwarfs our bull and other cows. We have considered getting rid of her just for that reason, she is 61" high at the back, nice and long, but just a huge cow. So your right she probably had alot to due with the calf size. As for the bull, we are going to use him this year and get rid of him, not because of the calves we are getting, our herd is small and we would benifit much more from AIing. They have not had moldy hay, they have free choice good minerals all the time, they have been together for over a year, so that leaves something genetically or a problem we don't know about. Since i can not find another vet, I have called and requested the ONLY vet in that office that knows cattle to come out this weekend and do a complete blood work up on the herd. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. As for the vet problem we are kindda stuck, there are tons of small animal vets around, but the same large animal vet has three different offices in the surrounding counties, they have one vet that is great with cows, so from now on if I can't get him I will just have to do it myself. Also the cow was 8 days over due by my calculations. [/QUOTE]
