[QUOTE="JustSimmental, post: 908165, member: 14624"] Part of the rite of passage (at least here) is that a heifer has her first calf unassisted / no exceptions. We will intervene if after a few hours she has not calved but like to give her every oportunity to make the production cow herd. If we assist --she is sold when she weans her calf. I also think a 91 lb calf is unacceptable and sometimes caused by poor nutritional balance (over-feeding), poor breeding decisions or poor replacement heifer choices all of which is human error. I'd get rid of the heifer and fire the cattle manager. JS [/QUOTE]
