[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 137099, member: 2095"] They SHOULD be able to calve at 2 years of age; but get or borrow a scale because guessing weights is not a game I like to play. And get a more accuarate birth date. 400 pounds for a calf born April 30th (taking a number in the middle) is about a 100 pounds lighter than I would like (and you better descide whether to sell them next month or start feeding them supplement to catch them back up). Now if they were born on May 31st they are right where I would like them to be and keep up the good work. If they were born in March and just weigh 400 pounds at Halloween give it up because they are too stunted already to calve safely long before their third birthday. [/QUOTE]
