[QUOTE="Ojp6, post: 1287978, member: 23608"] Age isn't that easy to tell. A good hair trimming could fool you. Long hair in there ears and stuff usually means they are older. Long broom tailed calves are usually too old for their size and won't grow as good as you like. Bull calves will sometimes be more manly looking than a breeding age bull and only weigh 500 lbs. Most calves that just look harder and thinner you can assume are a quite a bit older than there weight would suggest. I have seen a set of three hundred lb 9 month old heifers and plenty of 5 weight yearlings at the stockyards. I'm sure I'm forgetting some ways of telling them. Kenny could probably think of more.
