[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1754875, member: 24816"] Don’t have scales, so going by what ours weigh when selling by the pound. Biggest cows I’ve had were two Herefords that hit close to a ton with one weighing in at 1995 after she had calved and lost the calf. Sold several registered Angus cows over 1800. Don’t have any of those real big cows left Now I’d say based on more recent sales our biggest cows would be 1500 in ideal condition. Years ago with registered Charolais the heaviest cows were 1800. Something that I have been noticing is that most all of the real big Angus or Hereford cows did not wean off calves significantly larger than the other cows. I did notice larger calves at weaning when our cows were bred to a Simmental bull. The heaviest weaning weights I have had consistently were from the purebred Charolais, they averaged considerably more than anything else I have ever had. It’s been interesting, in that even though our Angus calves don’t wean off at real impressive weights, the ones retained for cows have mostly matured pretty good size, which probably isn’t all that desirable.
