[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 789356, member: 1715"] We worked all our calves today. That includes those from our 7 smallest cows that weigh about 935#. These calves looked like: - One fat pig that is short. Plan to butcher this one off grass. - One is a well balanced but a bit below average in size compared to the rest of the herd. - The remaining five are very nice, average sized, bwf calves and we plan to retain the 3 that are heifers. We do not see much if any correlation between weaning weight and cow size. Last year our biggest calf was from a small Simi x A heifer... She miked heavy and still bred back right away. Wish they were all like that. [/QUOTE]
