Took some video in the heavier calves before they got on the truck. This pen averaged 720 lbs, and all the steers averaged 679 straight through. I pleased enough considering the year.
Thank you. My bulls are all either straight Simmental or Simmental x Angus cross. The cow herd is getting to show more of that influence every year but the base was mostly Blonde d'Aquitaine.Nice looking calves. What's the primary breeds used?
How old are they when you wean?They look very even. 300kg (660lb) is my target for weaning so to average over that is pretty good.

By my math they would average about 212 days of age.How old are they when you wean?
Glad you got them sold on a high, heavy calves have dropped 20 cents in the last couple weeks.
Thank you. Yes, it is mandatory for cattle to have rfid tags when they leave the place of origin.(I thought I'd posted but it seems the web gremlins ate it LOL.)
Dandy calves.
Noted what looked like RFID buttons...are they optional or mandatory in Canada?
