    You are 100% right about calve size ,I gave up putting autumn calvers in calf to a Charolais as cows got too fit in summer and far too many calving problems changed to AA but still used the Charolis for late feb march calving as easier to keep cows leaner

    There’s been some dexters out for the last month in fields opposite my house, but they are on steeply sloping fields on Cotswold brash which is fairly free draining. I think the big milking herd must be out on the outskirts of the village as there is mud on the road where they cross.

    I am not surprised that the big calf didn't make it. By the way, it was acting from day one. It was big but weak and didn't have much fight in it. I would be looking at the cow to see if there is an underlying disorder that caused the calf to grow so big, a metabolic disorder, or the bull selection if it was out of a cow you brought in for example
