[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1383832, member: 24027"] Couldn't agree more. We primarily calve in the spring but just had 2 calves; one from a cow that's almost 11, bred back immediately a couple years ago & we ended up with 2 calves from her that year. Anyway, she's a huge cow, prob around 1800 lbs & just dropped an 85 lb heifer even though she was bred to a calving ease heifer bull that typically throws around 68 lbs. The 2nd cow is 6, also a good 1800 lbs and aborted her calf 3 months early last Jan but also bred back immediately with the same bull. Found her with a heifer calf this morning, can't be more than 70 lbs tops (can't weigh or tag her yet, she's a pistol). That said, the 2nd cow never really has had big calves but they have always ended up at a good 650 lbs when we sell them. [/QUOTE]
