Newton said:I had a heifer calf out of Fedex march 15 out of my heifer. attached is a picture. She weighed 110lbs. We had to pull her, she layed there for about 4 hours before she could get up and started nursing.
Her mamma is the red and white cow in the background, shes all white except tips of ears and nose. Shes got a wide top, decent muscled getting better as she is growing, not too square but mom could be to blame there. I'd like to have her a little deeper but she might mature with depth. her back left leg seems to be bowed a little but dont know how or what happened there.
also is a pic of her mamma, sorry for the poor pic/// Thank the one above you were there -or theyd both be history-THERES A PRIME EXAMPLE OF THE .01 BW CF SOLUTION AT WORK-from the masters of disaster and C-sections:if someone sold you a hiefer bred like that or told you anything bred like that could be used on a hifer-then they should be exposed:no excuses O0
we bred him to several heifers pulled one his calves has done really well you will find haters on any bull the guy on the bottom is stupid and he cant afford a cf solution son is the only reason he is bitching.sj0515 said:I have a heifer we bred to Sull Fedex, but I have not been able to find any pictures of his calves.

trevorgreycattleco said:This is a perfect example of the divide in this breed. A heifer having a 115 lb calf. Took four hours to get up. Come on folks. Come on. /// Thanks Trevor-the worst thing are the ones that you dont know about. Unfortunately-the so-called elite genetics are becoming more available lately due to supply and demand-Next are the usefull(and somewhat showy) cattle from Kieth Lauer,the LTD Edition deals (FHf Countess,Red Reward etc) and although many of them are also syndicated to the "thousands of lucky Shorthorn Breeders"-some of that blood may come available through attrition like Sull Payday-and there are alot more lesser known bulls too. The problem is-that people from outside the breed sometimes dont know which ones are real-and which are basically cow killers-from the looks of his response-niether does that owner LOL O0
sj0515 said:Wow that post was a year and a half ago. The heifer had the calf and it was a 74 pd BW with not much problem. We are still new to the cattle bussiness and I may not understand but I thougth the (expected) EPDs on Sull Fed-Ex were heifer safe. That is the main reason I bred her that way.
