I guess him over 100 lbs. Do you regularly get 92 lb calves out of your heifers? If you do i think i'd rethink my bull selection criteria. Can a heifer have a 100 lb calf unassisted? Absolutely but the averages are against it. I'll keep using my low bw angus bulls as I pulled 10 calves out of 200 first calf heifers last year. 3 were a little big and the other 7 were mal presentation. 70 to 80 lbs is fine with me, they have all summer to grow.
