[QUOTE="Supa Dexta, post: 1237965, member: 23321"] I watched 2 being born as I fed this morning, both heifer calves, 106 and 114 lbs. The 106 was out, up and sucking by the time I came back with another load of bales (20mins round trip likely) And the 114lb'er, I watched the cow lay down, push it out some ( calfs front half) and then she stood back up to sniff around and see if it was out yet.. As she was turning around the calf literally fell out. Eagles and crows are my problems these days.. Not birthweights. Avg BW so far this season is 98.6, take 1st calf heifers out of the equation and its 106. [/QUOTE]
