we had about 8 amigo calves this year... had no trouble with calving ease ( highest birth weight was around 90) - most come from first calf heifers, did not have any trouble with vigor or nursing, they look like pretty good calves as of right now,

to Husker1 -- did your friend have any other sired calves that did that?? sounds kinda like a mineral deficiency but who knows w/o actually investigating the issue

JWW

No, no other issues. It's really, really odd I know, but the only thing the problem calves had in common was the sire. This breeder is a feed salesman, so the mineral is probably not an issue! We held off using the bull do to this fact.
