[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 790346, member: 97"] With larger framed/bigger heifers you probably will not have any problems--but Legacy does throw some very deep bodied and muscled calves from birth.. I have a Legacy son that had a 78 lb birthweight- that I've been using for 3 years- and he works great on all heifers (but his mother was a high calving ease cow with low BW).... I haven't got the weaning weights on the bull and heifer calves I saved sired by him this year yet-- but the steer calves sired by him that I just sold looked great- and averaged 652 lbs (which made them worth $750 apiece :D )....
