Have never had one to my knowledge, had a cow that was purchased (Bred BIM) said no clean-up bulls used.. calved 14 days late and only a 61 BW so really small for a late calf.

I would definately not EXPECT them to come early given that he is a Heat Wave son

That cow calved March 29 according to the calving book, she was due the 14th. I was also extremely disappointed in the calf's growth as well as looks, no hair, light boned, and a WW of about 350#. The AVG for our herd was closer to 450#. the mother looked about like the cow below except black not grey and 8 years old.
