[QUOTE="nurseynicole, post: 1102094, member: 18349"] Jenna, no twins we had snow on the ground and never found anything in that pasture except for when he was born, and although I am no great at estimating weights I think around 60ish? maybe even a little more he is a good sized calf. Thanks all for the encouragement! We raised bottle calves 3 years ago and grew them out to 700-800lbs! We learned a lot from that bout lol!
