[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1532476, member: 27490"] About the middle of September, I hired a local producer to bring his tractor and manure spreader to spread my manure. He is one of the larger producers in our county. He has a large commercial herd of mostly Angus influenced cows. He does not and has never weighed his calves. He looked at about 6 of my calves that had been delivered up to that date. I told him the birthweight of each calf. He said the weights I gave were heavier than what he would have guessed. He said his calves look to be about the same size as the calves I had on the ground. I often wonder if calves are bigger than what many of us think. Not being naive, We all know some folks estimate calf weights for registration and only put down what looks good. I wonder how many bulls out there were over 100 pounds that says 95 on the registration? [/QUOTE]
