[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1315309, member: 22072"] People confuse low birthweight and premature which can happen with any age cow. They are two different things. Preemies are one thing, depending on how early, they can be weak. Our lbw bulls produce anything from 30 pounds to 75. The smaller full term calves will come out standing up and nursing in a matter of minutes. That is our goal for a heifers calf. The harder the birth, the likelihood that heifer is going to be a problem. Also just because you use a bull with good calving ease does not mean you can just turn them out on their own. [/QUOTE]
