Last season we had a bit of an issue having big suckers like this and had a lot of assisted calvings but things were much smoother this year. I have heard they can be awful and runty to rear but honestly I have loved them more than my replacements. They have been brilliant big strong kids and think with their stomach. Attachment 183944

OMG! They need to be born with winch points attached!!! They have to be nudging 50kgs!!?

We have become ruthless in culling difficult calving cows. Or ones throwing monsters, or twins. Twins sound cute and economic but in reality they just never do well, and hold a pens' worth of weiners back at the March sales.
