[QUOTE="ArrowHBrand, post: 437475, member: 6496"] Now first I just want to say that some people don't mind calving out 100-100+ lb. calves, but I do. I check BW's all of the time whether I'm buying replacement heifers, bulls, or weighing just born calves, their BW's are very important to our business. For Shorties, 100 lb. BW is a little high. None of our Shorties have been that stout. However, one year we had twins and both weighed mid 60's so if you add them together and reasoned it as one calf that would have been a big calf. For us BW isn't the only factor we take into account, but it is a big one. I like our cows to calf unassisted if all possible. [/QUOTE]
