[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1526195, member: 9933"] I am having trouble imagining a 580 pound 5 year old Angus cow. Corriente may be correct. My registered Angus herd might be considered smaller frame by many, but they still weigh 1250 to 1400 pounds at a condition score of 5 to 6. I just weaned their 5 to 6 month old calves and most of the heifer calves weighed between 500 and 600 pounds. The steers and bulls were heavier. This was entirely on grass in a severe drought year. The buyers of my calves want an animal that will grow and make them money. They would severely discount my calves if they thought they were incapable of good growth. That is why Corriente calves bring only a fraction of the dollars that you will get from an average to large size Beef calf. There is a good reason that cow only brought $375. If you want to get the best prices on your calves, buying the cheapest little cows won't help. [/QUOTE]
