[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1241204, member: 17767"] Retro, in keeping with my promise, here are up-to-date results from today: The calf is 13 days old and weighs 123 pounds. That is an increase of 18 pounds or 1.38 pounds per day. There is some question about my initial weight for the calf. I reported 105 pounds based on a bathroom scale method. I now have a hanging scale. I am finding a close correlation when comparing both methods. Fire Sweep Simmentals thought my initial weight seemed high. Given my practices and procedures, you may deem my findings questionable and I accept your skepticism. I am not well versed on what are acceptable gains in the first two weeks postpartum so I am open to comment. I will keep you undated. I do think this calf is going to push this heifer’s milk production. I hope she improves her milk production and it appears that she is working hard to keep up. We will see. [/QUOTE]
