[QUOTE="dun, post: 570300, member: 34"] As I've said many times before, I challenge the cow to [b]raise[/b] a big calf not birth a big calf. Over the years, other then one cow family which is now long gone, the smaller BW calves have weaned on par with the calves that were 15-20 lbs heavier at birth. Ours are cpable of having that 80 plus pound calf as a heifer, a couple have had 100 lbs calves as heifers without having to pull them, but what does that higher BW actually get you other then a possibility of more stress on the cow and calf.
