[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1798915, member: 24816"] This is true, we worked cattle yesterday, in a group of older calves that were born within 3 days of each other 2 on the same day. The cows were Angus, and BWF, and one Simmental. The calves were sired by a 3/4 Angus 1/4 Hereford bull. The calf by the Simmental cow was so much bigger than the others, probably 100 lbs more. She is an older cow and always considered one of the best, yet when retaining daughters it’s always been disappointing. Have one daughter an Angus cross, harder keeping, but generally looks good. Her calves skew back towards the average of the herd in spite of the fact that she herself is large framed and heavy milking. [/QUOTE]
