[QUOTE="cmf1, post: 992626, member: 6681"] First two AI calves off of the same bull just hit the ground off of a 13 year old mamma and her 3 year old first time daughter. Daughter bred 5/12/2012 calved 02/09/2013 273 days BW 45 pounds bull calf. Mamma bred 5/12/2012 calved 02/13/2013 276 days BW 67 pounds bull calf. Both pure bred. Both calves up and running with no issues. I expect the heifers calf to be lighter but this is my first year to actually weigh. Is 30% a common weight range to differ from cow to first timer in your experience? I'm not surprised or concerned, just curious. I've never looked at it in numbers before. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
