[QUOTE="raykour, post: 1079587, member: 16801"] Ha, love the picture. With horses, the size of the sire is no issue in breeding. Of course, there is the actual size difference when mating that can become an issue in extreme situations. Small mares (think Shetland ponies) can be AI'ed to draft type stallions and the mare limits fetal size in utero. Then the little critter quickly has to practically kneel in order to nurse as it outgrows its mother very fast. I once had a full sized paint stallion (15.1 hh, or 61 inches at the wither and about 1100 lbs.) breed a much smaller (12 hh, or 48 inches at the wither and probably 450 lbs) mare and she foaled out a little foal that dwarfed her by the time it was a yearling similar to the two in the picture. The point is, I wonder if somehow these Spanish type of cattle have this ability in some way. The cow is a little light, and could probably use 75 lbs. of flesh on her but even with that she'll still be small. I have 6 months to decide what to do with her. [/QUOTE]
