None of the breeds I run (Gelb, Char, Holstein) have a BW in the 60-70 pound range. Couple things to keep in mind: 1. I am in a cold weather area so BW tends to be higher 2. IMO BW and calving ease aren't directly related 3.The shape of the calf has alot to do with ease of calving.vclavin":cqn32bhp said:Are you getting 60 and 70 lb calves?

I rest my case!!!!!
There is NO such thing as a bull that throws 60-70 lbs calves. If there were, everyone would be using that bull on heifers , especially them huge Holsteins. I know a lady that used one of those supposed 60-70 lb throwing bulls and low and behold. The heifer had a 125lb calf, That lady was hot!!!
