[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1415096, member: 1682"] I would expect anything 90 lbs and under to require no assistance. 90-100 lbs minimal assistance. That being said, I have had heifers pop out 115 lbs standing up and some needing a hard pull at same weight. Selection is your friend. Also, I cut the breds way back on feed for the last month-2 months of gestation - talk about low birth weights - every calf coming out is a good 10 lbs+ lighter than normal and very lively. [/QUOTE]
