[QUOTE="brimmer X, post: 916014, member: 7228"] I have been having some Braunvieh calves myself. Most of my calves in the fall calved estimated average 68 lbs, one close to 80 lbs. But, this Spring has been different. On average probably about 75lbs. One being in 90 pound range on a braunvieh cow. I have about a dozen bruanvieh cows, and some pure blood charolais and few Simbra. The gestation period is definately longer on the Braunvieh. I have had no calving problems yet and have about 4 to go. My bull, a full blood, birth weight was 92lbs. Seems ok on cows, but I would not breed him to a heifer. The bull calves grow off pretty good, but the real benefit of the Braunvieh breed are the females. There is not really one heifer I want to get rid of, outside of twins on a char cow. I will have to part with a few, but it pains me to do it. This is my first year with Braunvieh, and have no regrets. [/QUOTE]
