so you think I should cross with a smaller breed the first time so they have less chance of having birth issues due to a big baby?

You have to watch them closely to catch them in "standing heat" then pop 'em 12 hours after. Cattle have strong homosexual tendencies and will mount one another. Often I'd wake up and they were still in standing heat so had to wait til afternoon.

My dad used to manage a 400 cow dairy. Every evening, we used to go watch for cows playing, "leap frog." I had no idea what he was really watching for. They looked like they were having so much fun.
