[QUOTE="dun, post: 52291, member: 34"] After all of that being said, there are times that the calfs shape helps to overcome weight to a certain degree. But a large calf still can;t easily come out of a pelvic opening that is too small for it. I've seen very large cows with small pelvic openings and smallish cows with huge openings. That's all in the genes too. There is a formula for calculating the maximum size of calf that can be birthed based pelvic openings. This link shuld take you to it [url]http://www.iowabeefcenter.org/pdfs/bch/%2002130.pdf[/url] dun [/QUOTE]
