There are a number of ways that you can get a big calf:

1. Buy one

2. Breed a high birthweight bull to a big cow

3. Breed a big bull to a big cow to get a big calf

4. Feed the cow high nutrient feeds throughout her gestation period, especially during the last trimester

5. Decrease phosphorus supplementation during pregnancy (this is correlated to larger birthweights)

Why is there blood on the head of a calf when the calf has just been born?

There are different variables as to why. First of all, I hope the calf was born alive. It could've been that it tore the birth canal opening as his head emerged. This can happen if the calf is either big or has a big head.

Is it a good idea to induce labor on a cow if her calf is too big?

No. The calf will obviously be too big to get his shoulders through the pelvic opening and through the birth canal without causing extensive damage to both himself an the cow, even if he was pulled out with a calf puller. You're much better off getting the vet out to do a Caesarean section on her to safely pull the calf out.

What can you do to get first time momma cow to produce more milk She doesn't have much milk for her 8 day old calf that is just getting enough milk to keep her alive?

You will have to bottle feed the calf. This sometimes happens with first-calf heifers, probably because the heifer is too small or the calf is too big. Depending on how big the calf is, you will have to separate the calf from the heifer and try to get it to accept the bottle. Start by cornering the calf and have a bottle of milk replacer and dribble some on its tongue, or wet your fingers with the milk and moisten the calf's nose and mouth with it, eventually let the calf suckle on your hand to get it to taste. Replace your hand with the nipple of the bottle. If the calf starts suckling, good! If not, keep trying and don't give up. Keep in mind the calf is hungry, but also keep in mind the calf is used to suckling from momma by now and the bottle isn't something that means "food"...yet. There really is no way to get her to produce more milk as she is young, and probably of the breed type that doesn't produce much milk at that age anyway. You'll have to work with the calf to get it back to health, but still let the calf nurse to keep that bond alive.
