[QUOTE="07whoop, post: 457200, member: 5847"] heres some facts for you about birth weights, i am sure this could correlate to mature body weight as well: 1) [i]Bos indicus[/i] (Brahman) sired calves out of [i]Bos taurus [/i](Hereford) cows have a much heavier avg birthweights than [i]Bos taurus [/i]sired calves out of [i]Bos indicus cows [/i](15-20 lb heavier) 2) In [i]Bos Indicus [/i]sired calves out of [i]Bos taurus [/i]cows, the bull calves are much heaver (12-16 Lbs heavier) than heifer calves. In [i]Bos taurus [/i]sired calves out of [i]Bos indicus[/i] cows, there is little difference in avg birthweight between bulls and heifers. In straight [i]Bos indicus [/i]and straight [i]Bos taurus [/i]calves, the bulls are about 5 pounds heavier than the heifer calves. 3) For various crosses, the more [i]Bos indicus [/i]in the sire compared to the amount of [i]Bos inidcus [/i]in the dam, the heavier the calves tend to be.
