[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 624191, member: 839"] I once had a cow who consistantly threw large calves, regardless of 'who' the bull was. Her calves were in the 90 lb range, never had any trouble with calving. One year she and one of my Jerseys were bred 'accidently' by a bull known to throw fairly large calves. Both cows had calves that needed to be pulled. The cow known for large calves was having her 8th calf. The Jersey's calf was 80 pounds (large for her) and the other cow's calf was just shy of 130lbs. I do think the bull does have some influence on the size of the calf, but I don't think the bull is the only influence. Katherine [/QUOTE]
