[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 499989, member: 852"] Minimum weight is 250 and the calf will be 5 months old?... with a 2lb ADG he'd be about 380lbs by then. Keep in mind 1.8lbs ADG is typical for a Holstein, but with calves on good alfalfa hay and grain I've gotten over a 3lb ADG between 200-400lbs, so be careful or you may go over the weight limit. Weigh him regularly, feed well but don't over feed, and you should be fine. [/QUOTE]
