[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 207907, member: 2308"] Our cows average weight is 1250 lbs, and those weights work for us. BUT, we also buy bull that are smooth, with a lot of length to them. The build of the bull has as much to do with calving ease, as BW. You want to look at him from the front, and you don't want to see his shoulders sticking out squarely. Also, we are on hand at calving time in case there is a problem. We don't have very many, but there is always a few. And also, remember that the cow has a lot to do with BW too. Are your cows older animals, or are you talking about 2-3 year old animals? 70-75 is a good weight for heifers, but cows should be able to easily handle calves 10-15 lbs heavier. [/QUOTE]
