hi, can anyone explain this problem?we have been using beef shorthorn bulls for the last 5 years and the vast majority of the calves are normal sized and healthy ,but every year we get 1 or 2 huge calves.,unviable,born dead or dying soon after birth. they look a month oldwith massive heads and bodies and unable to stand or suck .is this a genetic problem with beef shorthorn cattle as we have never experienced it with other breeds?
