[QUOTE="CG1, post: 1587352, member: 38577"] I have little no experience on this but we are also a small farm. My smallest cow has shown progressively better calves each time (now on her 3rd). Her first calf was 55lbs, second 60lbs and yesterday gave birth to a 75lb calf. I bred 5 heifers this year. 4 have calved so far and they have all actually given me similar calves to their size at birth. One of my heifers was 110lbs at birth and she just gave us a 100lb bull calf. She was a big calf and she has given us a very big calf. I can relate to the small cow herd and wanting to get the most out of it and we keep our breeding cows based on their nature mainly. If they breed easy, calve easy and are good mothers i keep them even if they give us a 50lb calf that stays on the smaller side. [/QUOTE]
