[QUOTE="kentuckyguy, post: 1500672, member: 26293"] I agree they should be able to handle the calves. To be honest I’m just getting started in cattle and I have learned real quick that getting good cows that calve without problems is not easy. The Hereford heifer had plenty of frame size. She might have even been a little bigger than I like. She got the calf out on her own but it looks to me like the calf’s cord broke before she could get it free and it suffocated. I work 12 hour shifts so I am not able to keep an eye on my heifers like I would like to. At the point I was just trying to figure out whether or not to give her another shot or move her down the road and take a chance with something else. [/QUOTE]
