[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1454992, member: 19683"] ~85-95lbs, usually in a range of 75-120lbs. But we mostly have calves around 90lbs. Autumn calving heifers now had calves from ~77 up to ~92lbs what is really good for them. Less than 88lbs calf from a cow is considered as already pretty small by us. 90-100lbs calf from a cow is a normal calf and is desirable. But we have some cows which have bigger weights no matter what bull you use. For example, lets take three half sisters from the same dam. From their 8 calves, only two were smaller than 110lbs. The old herefordx cow, I have started this thread with, rarely had calves lower than 110lbs too. Another pretty small, ~1300lbs, cow had the first calf at 66lbs, the second- heifer ~90-95lbs, the last two bulls at ~104lbs. Have one Angusxdairy cow which often throws calves ~100+lbs, especially bull calves. [/QUOTE]
