[QUOTE="Alan, post: 1232394, member: 378"] About 10 or 12 years ago I had a first time heifer drop a 28lb heifer calf. She was normal in every way, got up and nursed in normal time, stayed on the cow until weaning. When I first saw the calf in the calving pasture I remember walking out to check to see if she was a bull or heifer so I could prepare to tag her and give her shots, ect. I was shocked how small she was, pick her up and decided to go to the bathroom scales to weigh her, I carried her with one arm, I was thinking she was more like a dog then a calf. She weaned out at around 225, I gave her to some friends, my cattle mentor and his wife, in 4 yrs she was 800lbs and they ate her. The cow threw normal but light weaning calves, 2 more after "tiny", then the cow grew wheels. [/QUOTE]
