[QUOTE="VCC, post: 565725, member: 6399"] What is the calf’s hip height? If the calf is not overly tall and running at 1320 and only needs 75 pounds to be finished, you could easily weigh him in at 1325 finished. You may just have had a judge who likes calves in 1250 range. Do you have a weigh back at your fair, if so what is the percentage? You can get the calf to 1400 pounds and still weigh him in at 1325 with out hurting him at all. Start holding water back a couple days before the show, bucket water him with electrolytes and add a little water to his feed, hold water and feed on weigh day until after you weigh him. After you weigh him you start giving him a little water, a little feed and hay, every hour or so until he is full again. Use the Cellarator Turbo Paste the day before you ship, the day you ship, and after you weigh the calf. This will help him keep his gut working properly. You would not believe what many of your 1290 to 1320 pound champions’ true weight really was. [/QUOTE]
