[QUOTE="sunnyblueskies, post: 1798825, member: 39112"] All depends though how you are set up, or? Heifer bull BW under 80lb, somewhere in the 70's. Herdbull I like to stay in the 90's. Bullbreeder says he expects a cow to deliver a 100lb calf or it's a waste of time financially speaking. That may be true on a bigger scale, but once you are aiming for at least 100lbs. how work intense is calving going to be, as in assisting birth, even if it is just a little help? I'm asking you for your experiences. Another thought that crossed my mind is how perky are those + 100lbs calves compared to 80-95lbs calves? Oh, just remembered another question: Breeding for +100lbs calves, what does it do to the longevity/productivity of the cow? I'm not knocking anybody for their own ideas and choices...... in the end we all try to do what fits us individually best. [/QUOTE]
