[QUOTE="Beef Man, post: 749410, member: 13859"] If the heifer is'nt hurt,keep her and see if she breeds back,she will always be able to calve,you would think. The real problem with these big calves IF they get born is they usually don't get up and get going like a normal calf do'es and in cold or snow'y weather they are a terribull problem. No place for them in a range situation. As it has been mentioned they are not necessarily the best doing or the top calf at weaning. I do beleive that sometimes they are the result of just being left in the oven to long! Have had 1 or 2 in the past out of Ai that run way over term and out of very easy calving heifer and bull and were quite big. Nature works in wonderous ways and just goes to show us that no matter how great our technology is there will always be unansured questions. Thats what makes life interesting!! [/QUOTE]
