[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 229700, member: 173"] Pulled a 130+ lb heifer calf out of a first calf heifer on Saturday night. Lost the calf, luckily, very luckily, the heifer made it. Here's my question. The heifer was bred to the bull I bought last year.. this is the first calf out of him. He's got good birthweight EPD's.. in fact, his are better than the last bulls. The heifer is a Simbrah / Maine cross.. so I know that will throw the EPD's off.. so I'm thinking it's one of those freaky deals. (I'm also considering it may have been the neighbors bull.. we've had trouble keeping him out) The second cow bred to him calved this morning.. TWIN bull calves. All are doing well, the calves are probably 60 and 70 lbs. Would that consistute a large calf? Or can I even consider that in my worrying about having to pull a bunch of calves? [/QUOTE]
