last year my power plus granddaughter(PHA positive) had a 80 pound first calf... we flushed her to K and A top shelf and got this guy..

The Vet was able to get him delivered with a moderate pull with no bleeding and no fat (1300 pound angus recip)

I was ready to throw the other eggs away until I saw him up and dried off... certainly won't put them in any smaller recips

just cause one was that big doesn't necessarily mean they will all be
I agree, I had three full sib bulls, one natural two ETs, they weighed 106, 124 (natural) and 137.

Another flush had two heifers at 96 and 98, a bull calf at 130 by c-section.

The bigger/ or more 'capacity' one of my recips has been, the bigger the calf.  If I had my druthers, they'd all go in heavy milking 1200# Angus cows.
