[QUOTE="MissouriExile, post: 489448, member: 6430"] I sold a registered bull yearling recently that I had bought as part of a cow calf pair. I received the papers in the mail and (I'm new to the business) only read them briefly. The buyer, however, read the papers carefully. He saw that the bull calf had a listed birth weight of 53 lbs. He was impressed. I found it hard to believe. Is that low of a birth weight common? Couldn't that low of a birth weight be a negative indicator? I suppose the breed is significant here, it is Angus. Do breeders of registered cattle carefully weigh calves just after they are born? How much can the weights be trusted? Jon [/QUOTE]
