[QUOTE="Beef Man, post: 815404, member: 13859"] Hereford sired calves will not nessecarly have calvin g problems because of big heads. There is, in any breed ,bulls that will sire problems on heifers. Have you weighed any of these calves? Sometimes a big calf is slow comeing and the head will be swelled and usually the tongue is swelled and discolored. Just a thought. We use hereford on our heifers all the time but do pay attention to the bulls shape-- smooth shoulders, normal to smallhead, not overley thick body,and a accurate liveable actual birthweight. As you are dealing with purchased cattle you may never know what the bull looked like that they were bred to. Sounds like you are getting the calves so all I can say is hang in ther and be happy that you do not have a lot of them to deal with. [/QUOTE]
