[QUOTE="Farmgirl, post: 236122, member: 832"] Susie, A rule of thumb is that a heifer can have a calf that weighs 7-8% of her weight. There are other factors to consider, such as the shape of the calf. If a calf is heavily muscled it will usually be a harder delivery. We looked that with our first calf heifers and the rule was pretty close for us. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
