[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1586910, member: 9933"] The American Angus association adjusts the weights of calves based on the age of their mom at the time of weaning. I assume those adjustments are based on the averages of all weights reported in the past. They do this in order to compare adjusted weaning weights of calves born to different age cows. A calf born to a cow that is less than 3 years and 91 days old when that calf is 205 days old would have 67 pounds added if it was a bull calf and 55 pounds if a heifer. A cow between the age of 5 years 92 days and 10 years 91 days has no adjustment, but cows younger than that or older will have their weaning weights adjusted for age. Those numbers can be viewed at the AAA website. In other words, Angus 2 year old heifers on average wean calves that are 55 pounds (heifer) to 67 pounds (bull calf) lighter then they will wean as 5 year olds. [/QUOTE]
