[QUOTE="Sage, post: 469263, member: 5352"] Adj 205 day wt is (actual weaning weight-actual birth weight*205+actual birth weight)/age in days. Then to adjust for age of dam: 2yr old - 205 adj wt *1.15 3yr old - 205 adj wt *1.10 4yr old - 205 adj wt *1.05 5-10yr old - no adjustment 11yr old and older- 205 adj wt *1.05 And then to complicate it a bit more to adjust for the sex of the calf: Heifer wts. *1.05 = steer basis Bull wts. * .95 = steer basis Bull wts. * .90 = heifer Steer wts. * .95 = heifer Steer wts. * 1.05 = bull Heifer wts. * 1.10 = bull This is from some old info but I doubt it has changed much if any. It will get everything on a pretty even playing field anyhow. [/QUOTE]
