Figures a lousy "hobby trader" like Kenny would go and ruin the game :-D. Off by a whopping 25 lbs. total. Cow is 986 and the calf is 321. If I can step on my soapbox for a minute, this is the elusive 1100 cow that many of you dont think exists. 1000 lbs. now and will be another 100 pounds heavier next summer and top out there. I will bet good solid money she will be in my pasture a lot longer than some of the 16-1800 tanks I see on here and also that I have. And when I have enough just like her, if I need to mash the scales, I will use a Charolais or Simmental to make it happen but it will be an all terminal cross. I can afford to do that because she will last long enough that I dont need to replace her for another 10 years. Of course, this pair is actually for sale this weekend because I am getting to have quite a few just like them.
On another note, I do think maybe the first picture made the calf look taller than she is, but are some of you who guessed 500+ pounds seriously expecting that out of a straight angus calf thats 4 months old? That calf will be 550+ when weaned and 700+ when bred and 850+ when she has her first calf. Just how I like em.
