[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 173895, member: 2862"] I've read studies that have stated MAXIMUM birthweight could be anywhere between 8% and 10% of the cows dry weight, but definitely place NO stock in those numbers. My long term average is 6.5% with 1 C-section in my lifetime, and an average of 1 pull/yr. At 10% of body weight, my girls would have been calving out 120 - 140 lb calves. If the calf had proper conformation, I suppose my older cows could do it, but thats alot of calf. Rod [/QUOTE]
