[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 982470, member: 5601"] Phil, Re: What breed is momma and daddy ? If one of my Black Angus cows produced a 62 lb calf and the bull usually produces a 70 - 80 lb calf, she would get wheels under her. Re: “1 - Would you guys consider her a keeper and did she raise a big enough calf?” If she is a Herford, maybe, a black angus no. “2 - Would you keep her heifer calves?” Again it depends on the breed. 3 - “Would you take the steer calf in or should I let him heal for a week or two?” I would give him at least 30 days to heal and regain his weight lost from the trauma/stress of castration as he may loose up to 10% of his body weight just from the castration and shot alone. I would also wean him during this same time, that way you would be producing exactly what buyers want. A weaned healed/healthy steer. SL [/QUOTE]
