[QUOTE="BIZIN, post: 749574, member: 5783"] The have Welsh Black calves out of our hereford cows have weighed up from 103 to 149. Havent had to pull one yet over 5 years and 150 cows a year. First year we had the Welsh Black calves I came over a hill with the quad and saw a little black dot so I drove over to make sure he was ok. His momma came running as I got close and the little guy stood up and I swear she had given birth to a small horse!! He weighed 149 and was up and sucked when I found him. Biggest calf we have ever had natural birth. Had a bunch of heifers bought from a neighbour in our feedlot and somehow they were bred while in the feedlot and we still cant figure out how they got bred. Pulled 16 calves, most had to come out with a come-along because we ran out of calf puller, had to cut a few out in pieces. None survived, smallest calf was 117, biggest was 160. Guess thats what happens when you have a pregnant heifer on full feed! [/QUOTE]
