[QUOTE="W.B., post: 1501937, member: 3518"] We are a commercial operation so we don’t weigh calves but I would guess avg on cows is around 85. We need a cow that can have a 100 lb calf with little or no trouble if need be. Some outfits that crossbreed will have calves that are a little larger so maternal calving ease is important. Too small calves are not good either as they don’t take cold weather. In general I like the consistency that Angus bulls sire and have not found it with other breeds. We are going to pelvic measure our yearling heifers this year to throw out any outliers on the small side. I like being on the safe side of things. [/QUOTE]
