[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 1827491, member: 13402"] the first calf was out of SAV Renown one was a Resource I only use low birthweight bulls on heifers. I rarely use a negative bw bull I don’t want 50 pound calves I feel a heifer should be able to have a 70# calf. We are an Angus operation so all Angus bulls used. The 23 pound calf was a Coleman Juneau 044 out of a Coleman Donna cow. The calves were out of both mature cows and first calf heifers. Our heifers are managed differently than mature cows with heifers being supplemented. All cattle on mineral program wormed twice a year and vaccinated annually. The photos are to give you an idea of condition of the cattle first shot open heifers second is a young cow with her second calf that we had just pulled it was upside down and backwards so a rough delivery but alive and heifer weighed 75 pounds so we finally get the right size just a bad presentation Bot cow and calf doing fine. Last photo another small calf at birth as you can see cow is in good shape if I remember correctly calf was 60ish pounds cow is a Coleman Donna the calf is Coleman Triumph. We will be flushing this cow soon. [/QUOTE]
