[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 723305, member: 1682"] Typing up some records. Went back and looked at calving ease over the past decade. Calved 393 calves. Assisted 38 in some way. All others born unassisted. Giving an unassisted calving percentage of 90.3%. Not sure how that compares to other people's figures. Majority of the ones requiring assistance had calves less than 100 lbs, with a percentage being due to twin messes. Over 100 lb calves are a normal occurrence for us. Kind of reinforces the notion that we have bred for cows that can handle big calves (whether by purpose or accident) without intervention. :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
