[QUOTE="robertwhite, post: 996324, member: 15043"] I only have a few pics that would show anything, and I don't know how to post them here. But basically, after seeing in past years what my cows have thrown, I would have to blame it on the bulls genes. My friend who has been around cows forever even commented that they looked like giraffes. The calf that is now about 1 1/2 weeks old is an easy 125lbs right now and the calf that was born last night looks like a week old calf. As for the inducing, this was told by a man that runs 500 momma cows. Basically, he said that if they realize they got a bull throwing traits like that, they will induce 2-3 weeks early so that they are assured of at least a somewhat smaller calf at birth. I can only go by what I was told and also had never heard such a thing before. [/QUOTE]
