[QUOTE="Northern Rancher, post: 777554, member: 5898"] Breeding for bigger calves you might have to assist in hopes that the heifer calves will grow up and be able to calve unassisted is just plain silly. By all means use a little bigger BW bull on your cows but if you really push the performance deal be disciplined enough to sell the heifer calves or make sure your alarm clock works because you won't want to miss any calving checks. Bigger heifers have bigger pelvic openings and usually have a bigger calf that fills it so the gain is really nil. Our own heifers calve on grass and get checked midday to tag calves if they happen to be where you can get to them. [/QUOTE]
