I pulled a 148# baldy bull calf out of a 4 year old hereford cow a couple years ago that was the biggest I had ever had...And it was a hard pull... Cow couldn't get up for 2 days and walked wobbly for about a week before she got all the feeling back in her legs and backend...
She was bred angus- but I think the heterosis must have kicked in early.. Since then she has had a couple big calves but the biggest of them was only 108#...
Needless to say I haven't kept any of her baldy heifers for replacements....
