Yes. Often a bull that is too big and heavy for a cow will wreak havoc on her back, and this can be detrimental at calving time resulting in her going down and not being able to get back up after delivering a calf. Large mature bulls on heifers will ruin the heifers' backs and cause them to have hind leg issues later on.
