[QUOTE="simme, post: 1745886, member: 40418"] Weighed little "Peanut" today (pictured above). Born 14 days early at about 50 pounds. Was embarrassed to have such a low birth weight. At 3 months, I told my daughter/vet that we had to cut the little bull. She came to do that and told me that would be a mistake. That he was too good to cut. I agreed and he got a reprieve. He is a chunk. But I was surprised when he weighed 810 pounds today at 223 days old. That is a 205 day adjusted weight of 749 pounds. His dam is 3 y/o. BIF says to use a 40 pound adjustment for bull calves from a 3 y/o dam. That puts his 205 day and age of dam adjusted weight at 789. Regardless of adjustments, he grew off pretty good. I guess I am going to keep the little cow as well. She was also a very low birth weight calf but has grown into a nice 3 y/o cow. The bull calf I considered the "best" had an adjusted ww of 760.
