I was watching Good Morning America this morning and they showed a black calf that weighed 229 pounds AT BIRTH!! :eek: :eek: :eek:
They didn't say what breed, and they just showed a brief view of the herd which looked crossbred (saw a few blacks and a few chocolates). They also commented that the momma cow was "hamburger".  :'(I am assuming it was a C-section.
So, does anyone have more info???? Just curious!

wow unbelievable on the weight! I know Holsteins can get pretty big but you said this was a beef calf? Will look into it.
Makes me hurt just to think of it! (cow)
