[QUOTE="Ryan, post: 214681, member: 615"] 1. calves are usually born with little nubs, or "buttons". sometimes it might take a few weeks to a month for them to become visible. 2. I would say they grow fastest from a few months old until they are about 2 or 3 years old, and they are pretty much matured out at 5 or 6 years old. However they will keep growing a little for life, depending on the nutrition available to them. How much they grow per month is pretty much based on genetics, and if they have the nutrition available to obtain that genetic potential. 3. In my opinion, horns are judged by each individuals personal preferrences. However, at the horn showcase, where they measure horns, they measure tip to tip and total horn (sometimes called around the poll). Hope this helps, I know other breeders will give some more info.
