[QUOTE="RD-Sam, post: 924136, member: 7927"] That is pretty light for crossbred cattle, something is seriously wrong with how you are doing things. My angus were raising 430 to 520 pound calves when I first started, and the cows were extremely thin at weaning time(205 days). Now that they have plenty of grass, quality hay in the winter, and mineral available all year, the cows are in great condition and wean 590 to 740 pound calves last year. That is with no feed for either the cow or the calf. Sometimes we feed the heifers and the bulls at weaning just to help them out for a week or two, but that is pretty much it. I have a new bull calf that isn't even two months old that will go over 200 pounds. [/QUOTE]
