[QUOTE="CowboyRam, post: 1726968, member: 42312"] What is considered a good weight gain for calve just weaned. The middle of November I fence line weaned my calves for 45 days. My average weight at weaning was 501 pounds, and the average weight when I sent them to the sale was 558 pounds, so they gained about 57 pounds in those 45, and that comes out to about 1.26 pounds per day. They were on alfalfa and the sweet-pro cattle kandy tubs for those 45 days. Those 62 head would go through a 225 pound tub in about three days. I also should also say that they were giving their weaning shots, and dewormed two weeks before weaning. Did I do good, or did I do poorly? [/QUOTE]
