Kinda interesting, I have three reg. angus calves. Sire is Conn. Danny BW's were 70-80lbs All three are apx. 210 days old. Body structure, muscle, etc... is fantastic. Only complaint is they are still rather short. Weight is apx 425lbs, which means they are gaining apx. 1.7lbs/day. They are getting apx 8lbs of feed per day each, which was started about 30 days ago. Still nursing. Dams milk production is good. Think I should be concerned, or just give them time? Dams BCS is good so i'm planning on leaving them on for another 30-40 days. Then raise feed up to 10lbs/day each. Should I have started creep feeding earlier? Planning on breeding at 2 to calve at 3. Will try to get some pics next week. Again body structure is great, just kinda short. Wish I could give a exact number for height. I'm 5 10 and they, all three, are about 4 inches taller than waist high. Maybe this is too much of an open question
