[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1516909, member: 16453"] Yes I agree, I have used him on heifers in the past and they have been bigger and a bit tougher calvings than I would have liked and not like his numbers would have suggested. The cow that calved yesterday was on her 5th calf and I weighed the heifer this morning at 38.5kg which is fine for me but I have had heifers with Prophet calves up around 45kg. Maybe in the cow herd where they are left to their own devices to survive the BW is acceptable but when I give my heifers a bit of support the calf takes it all and grows. The certainly grow well on mum"s milk so maybe they respond likewise in the womb to a bit of nutrition as well. Ken [/QUOTE]
