To try and answer some questions/thoughts, yes I go by birth weights when choosing a bull. This guy was 84lb birth weight, but I guess that is too much. I know 5 of the last calves born have been over 100lbs. The one with the broken leg was 110lbs. The one with the bad leg was a first calf heifer, the other 4 are cows that have had anywhere from 4-6 calves, and I'd never pulled a calf on one of them before. The problem on all of them is also the size and shape of the head. All of them have been able to get the legs out fine, but simply can't push the blunt shaped head out. It's like a wall coming out rather than being streamlined. Anyway, I just checked the rest of the herd, 17 more to go, but none look real close up. I'd say middle of next week before the next calf comes. I'm really looking forward to being done with calving this year!
