[QUOTE="Stickney94, post: 1577101, member: 37941"] We had our first small batch of Hickok calves 3 weeks ago. They really ran the spectrum of size from quite small to quite large (small = 60lbs and large=90+). These all were from 6+ year old cows. Most of them were pretty vigorous and up and suckling within an hour of birth. We used Hickok as an alternative to Hoover Dam. Our HD calves have always come very uniform and seem to hit the ground with some mass/fill. The Hickok calves seemed less filled, though their weights were similar to HD calves. But they do seem to be growing well despite the weather (we had 3 inches of snow last night in SW MN). We are planning on using HD this year and see how these Hickok animals perform. [/QUOTE]
