[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1398553, member: 22295"] I can go by actual weights if I know when the calf was weighed. If necessary I can adjust it. I helped with the some of the first 205 day weighing in this county. They would list an actual weight, days of age when weight and then do a straight adjustment to 205 days. No allowances for anything. I just weaned a bull calf at 8 months even that had mother milk and they were on decent wheat pasture for the last 6-7 weeks and he weighed 1000 even a day after weaning. I know this calf has plenty of growth and don't need adjustments to prove it. The way they do the adjustments and allow for a cow's age, ect is nothing but a way to pencil whip it and means nothing to most commercial breeders. I know one PB Angus breeder told me that they will even adjust BW's for calves born on cows on wheat pasture. You can't compare calves accurately when they make all of the adjustments and allowances. When a 13-14 month old bull is still 50 lbs or more below his adjusted yearling weight something is wrong.I see the same variances with 205 day weights. And I see them regularly. [/QUOTE]
