[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 890452, member: 9933"] I record both measurements (girth) (hoof) and the actual calf weight each year. Unfortunately I have found a wide variation in weights on calves with the exact same measurement. Weights have varied by as much as 15 pounds on calves of the same girth. If you want a correct weight you will need to put them on the scale to weigh them. If you are only interested in the girth of the calf for determining calving ease, than measurements are helpful.
