[QUOTE="Dusty Britches, post: 97935, member: 1900"] I've often wondered about my cows and how well their calves gain. Let me describe my herd - we have about 25 cows, 10 bred heifers and one bull. Currently, we don't have the facilities to seperate the bull, but we are "working" on that (along with about a dozen other projects). So, needless to say, we have calves year round. The bulk of calves were born in February. Our bull is a registered Angus. He is about 2200 pounds. He had the lowest birth weight, highest birth to weaning weight gain, and highest weaning to yearing weight gains at the Texas Beef Development Center annual bull sale last year. His birth weight was 62 pounds, his weaning weight was 775, his yearling weight was 1450(+/-). Our cows are primarily Brangus. Most are first calf, with calves out of the Angus bull. The calves are averaging 375-400 pounds now, average age is 4 months. Here's my question - what should I expect (or set my goal at) for their 6 - 7 month weights so I can monitor for potential cull cows? [/QUOTE]
