Weaning time has come here. A pretty nice group of weanlings. Photos won't be very recent. Maybe a couple weeks old.
Bulls: average daily gain- 2.67lbs, biggest-3.558lbs. Biggest calf- 972.23lbs, smallest- 485lbs.
From a heifer, gaining 2.8lbs/day.
Heifers: average DG- 2.415lbs, biggest- 2.698lbs. Biggest heifer- 857.59lbs, smallest- 491.6lbs.
One 573lbs, another 828.9lbs.
Have weighed a couple calves, which won't be weaned yet.
This guy was weighed at 131days- 529lbs, gaining 3.3065lbs/day.
One young heifer has 2.7lbs/day gain for now.
Have weighed neighbour's bull calf. He's 3/4 angus, from a heifer, 7months 20days old- 1049lbs, gaining around 4lbs/day without any meal, just grass and milk since birth. Some good calf. Plan to buy a weaned heifer from that neighbour, angus from a belgian blue x dairy cow.
