[QUOTE="Texan, post: 263922, member: 416"] That's correct, Beefy. Her calf last year was well over 100 pounds. I never hooked to him, but grabbed him by his front feet to help her just a little bit. I actually had three calves last year that were a little larger than I wanted, even though I never hooked up a puller to any of them. Another one was out of a different smokey cow, and one from a SimX heifer. That's right everybody--a heifer. I'm sure I'll go straight to the devil for it, but I cleaned up some heifers with a Char bull. :lol: I was worried that I might have a bull getting those large calves, so I did a DNA test on all three of the large calves. All three from different sires, though. And I haven't had any big ones this year, so I guess I just have to chalk it up to late calves and the luck of the nick. I'm thinking seriously about DNA testing some of these 50 pound calves I'm getting so many of, too. If I have a bull consistently getting 50 pound calves, I don't want him. There's no use in leaving that much money on the table. [/QUOTE]
