[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1476384, member: 968"] 8 out of how many? Well, it really doesn't matter - that's 8 too many! A cow should be able to easily calve 8% of her body weight. So, 900# heifer should easily calve 72# and a 1700# should be able to spit out 136# I would guess shape is more of the problem then weight. Which would be your bulls fault, unless all the hard calvers are closely related. [/QUOTE]
