[QUOTE="bandit80, post: 553713, member: 7956"] I would first call the breeder and see if he will stand behind his cattle. I would immediately haul the remaining heifers that haven't calved back to him. I highly doubt there were really bred to a purebred Angus bull if all the calves really weigh 120 lbs at birth. You could always have one or two "freak" deals, but not all of them. I just don't see that happening. I also am not sure about the beefalo, but I seem to remember something about them. It has to be a beef bull bred to buffalo cow to get the beefalo. I think it was because of a different gestation period. Beef animals have a shorter gestation period than buffalo. Therefore, if a buffalo bull breeds a beef cow, the cow will calve before the calf is completely developed. Not sure if a beefalo bull can breed a beef cow. It will be harder for the heifers to breed back after difficult births. Dystocia is a big culprit of longer calving intervals. [/QUOTE]
