[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1560679, member: 24027"] There's no guarantee either way! I have kept back heifers that only scored 144 & had a 70 lb calf no problem. And I pulled one on a heifer that scored 162, primarily because she was tired, distracted & simply taking too long - most likely my fault because I was watching her (I now make a point of hiding, watching between slats in the barn if at all possible). Good luck! Calving shouldn't officially kick off until the 27th but some of mine are already starting to bag. If they could just hold off through this next round of snow/ice/rain this week, that'd be great. [/QUOTE]
