Actually, sid, the 3rd bull I'm considering leaving intact for the time being. Although the pic doesn't show it, he could be a very nice bull.

And it was mama that decided the grass was greener so to speak. She went over to the neighbors for a visit and came back bred.

what would typical weaning weights be on from straightbred longhorn cattle? I know there will be as much difference within the breed and between different breeds, but just an average ballpark figure will do.

As you said it varies quite a bit in the breed itself, but in my herd, it will probably go from 250 to 400 lbs.

I like all the Longhorn calves but #seven (the heifer). Hard to tell from one pic, but she looks a little frail. It doesn't look like her Mom is milking all that well or something. Since we are going INTO the winter, you might want to pen the pair, de-worm them both, and throw a little grain with free choice hay at the two some. That will also shake off any other calves/calf who Mom might also be letting nurse.

That calf is the smallest by far. She belongs to our son. She is a first calf from a heifer that was given to him, that had a broke hip. She has been supplemented, and will be taken off her mama shortly.
