[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 715122, member: 7509"] The actual age of my calves at weigh, wean and fall working yesterday ranged from 197 to 218 days. They were all weaned on the same day. The adjustment either adds or subtracts an average daily gain times the number of days they are from actual 205 days of age. It would be very misleading to compare the unadjusted weaning weights of calves that are likely to vary considerably in age at the time of weaning. Mine are unusually tightly grouped. Most herds vary much more in actual age of calves at weaning time. The adjustment is very important to accurately compare cow and calf performance. 205 days is the standard age for weaning measurements. Adjusted weaning weights means, as I understand it, the actual weight is corrected for the age difference from 205 days so that calves can be compared on a more equal basis. jmho. Jim [/QUOTE]
