[QUOTE="turning grass into beef, post: 499357, member: 5195"] It took me few minutes but I found some information that I posted last fall. This is a complete picture of our calf weights from 2008, not just on 12 head. We weighed calves off 101 head of purebred cows. 5 cows had multiple births of which 9 calves survived. These 9 calves averaged 66.7 pounds. I have not included these in the following information as I feel this would skew the results. 42 mature cows had bull calves totaling 4122 pounds of calf. 4122 pounds / 42 head = 98.1 pound average. 34 mature cows had heifer calves totaling 3114 pounds of calf. 3114 pounds / 34 head = 91.6 pound average. 10 2 year old heifers had bull calves totaling 826 pounds of calf. 826 pounds / 10 = 82.6 pound average. 10 2 year old heifers had heifer calves totaling 808 pounds of calf. 808 pounds / 10 = 80.8 pound average. 4122 + 3144 + 826 + 808 = 8870 pounds. 8870 pounds / 96 head = 92.4 pound average.
