[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1844644, member: 24027"] A correlation between the age and (if I recall correctly) breed of heifer. Heifers bred so they'll calve at appx. 36 months vs. 24 months have less "wiggle room" in their pelvis. Which is why mine are measured at 11 months, turned out at 15 months to calve at 24. I only retain heifers based on the success of their lineage & dam (and docility). But it's not an exact science. My heifers should easily be able to have a 70-75 lb. calf unassisted. I don't want my heifers having enormous calves, even though it may work in another operation. The calves I had to pull were 105 and 90 lbs. [/QUOTE]
