[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1056095, member: 1715"] Some people really make a big deal out of this, but there should be zero docked calves. You just need to manage the variation: I have used terminal bulls on small F1 cows, and I did get a couple short calves the first year. I think it just comes with this type of 3 way cross... Now I had two options -- cull the cow that throws shorts, or retain the calf and sell it later for a premium as a grass fed. :banana: I have done both depending on how much I like the cow. [/QUOTE]
