[QUOTE="Andyva, post: 1202972, member: 1022"] Ideally, I would like to see a 900 pound heifer have a 60 pounder and a 1400 pound cow have a 95 pounder. Narrow hipped cows and the size and shape of the calf's head have more to do with birthing problems than size alone. Sometimes long gangly calves with long legs will get tangled, too. I think there is a direct relationship between the 60 pound BW and the 375 pound WW. If you select for one trait, other traits suffer. [/QUOTE]
