[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1328046, member: 24565"] The season and temperature should hold down calf weights at birth now through fall. If your heifers are fat (pones on tail head, ball in brisket) then the condition and feeding is an issue but I don't think that you can pull fat off of them quick enough to help anyway. If this heifer is fat she will be a gob of fat by next calving so I would cull. Success, for me, with heifers that misfire has always been poor. If you can check them before you go to work and see a heifer going into labor, I will tell you what I used to do or would still do, just to be sure. I'd get her up and pull the calf and then go to work knowing that the calf was born. It was and is not a common occurrence but it makes life simpler. [/QUOTE]
