[QUOTE="RVF, post: 513088, member: 7960"] Feed may be one problem. I have added 20 lbs to the birth weight by changing from a hay/straw based ration to a hay ration. I should not have been genetics because I only looked at mature cows that were bred to the same bull across the two years. The second issue is that birth weight is not calving ease. Yes they are related but I just had to pull a 80 lb heifer calf out of a heifer because the calf had a big head. Once the head was out the calf came out no problem. There are many bulls that produce heavy long narrow calves that are easier to calve than light weight blocky calves. [/QUOTE]
