I had a set of twins born Sunday and after we got them gathered up I weighed them using the weight tape that goes around their foot. It said both of them are 100lbs. The heifer is taller and her tendons were contracted for a bit and the bull is short and stocky. I'm sure they both weigh the same but just amazed they were both that big. Momma is doing great but only claimed the bull which I feel is best since the heifer will be headed to town.
I was just wondering how accurate you all feel the weigh tapes are. I didn't want to drag my bathroom scale down to barn so I thought I would ask.
On another note, just wondering if any of you disclaim heifers that are freemartins at the sale barn or just run them through with the rest of the heifers.
Thanks for your input.
