[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 721818, member: 5106"] There are also some breeders that say the bulls are calving ease bulls because they throw 50lb calves, to me that is a runt, not a calf. I used the pullers once last year and it too was on a heifer but she was not a beef breed. There are quite a few things to look at ,,,,the heifers themselves ,your mineral program or the young bull (which could be the problem for sure) but if you are having to pull 70 lb calves then I would think it would be more a heifer and not being fully developed problem or a nutritional/mineral problem. FW sorry about you troubles as of late . Malpresentations sometimes just happen , now that being said what is your mineral program, I think you may need to up it for the heifers that still need to calve this year. I sure hope the rest of your girls have beautiful healthy calves all on their own FR .. Good luck and my fingers are crossed for you.. :) [/QUOTE]
