[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 6844"] Ok, I've calved out a lot of animals, no brangus to be honest (but I have done a buffalo....)and I've worked with a couple of murray grey breeders. In my experience, they calve out easier than just about any other breed of cattle ON AVERAGE. I've heard of 100+ lb birthweights, but I've seen 180lb+ calves in other breeds. Average would be about 65-70lbs for heifer calves, 70-75lbs for bull calves. There are malpositionings as with any breed, I've seen one set of twins which were calved out unassisted. The shoulders are sloped just right for calving, the calves tend to slip right out. A friend in Texas who breeds MG's feels they're up faster and nursing than anything else they've raised (including many brahma type crosses) I'd recommend you contact a murray grey breeder. I'm sure there are many on this list...if not, ask and I'll connect you with some websites. Good Luck with your quest! V [/QUOTE]
