If I was out to feed calves, I'd choose a .44 over a .357.

CAS is just a game and the lighter round is the preferred way to go, based on many collective years of shooting experience.

Whacking a 'yote or other calf unfriendly varmint, the .44 would be better, for sure.

(I'd probably take my .22-204, Model 7, and leave the .44 at home.)
