[QUOTE="BLACKPOWER, post: 45690, member: 92"] Here is the formula for 205 day weights, virtually all bulls you will see in a sale catalog have been adjusted to a 205 day weight, it is the only way to compare birthweights fairly. Weaning Weight Adjusted to 205 Days Pre-Weaning Gain= (Weaning Weight - Birth Weight) ÷ Age in Days 205 Day Adjusted Weight = Pre-Weaning Gain x 205 + Birth Weight + Age of Dam Additive (see below) Age of Dam Additive Age of Dam Male Calves Female Calves 2 year old plus 60 pounds plus 54 pounds 3 year old plus 40 pounds plus 36 pounds 4 year old plus 20 pounds plus 18 pounds 5 to 10 year old none none 11 years or older plus 20 pounds plus 18 pounds [/QUOTE]
