What it says on the tin, specifically the average weight of a 12-month-old heifer calf that is a hybrid between a male Texas Longhorn and a Holstein heifer.

I am going to elaborate on this. It is basically a thought experiment regarding these video game characters below and how to get the most realistic measurements. So if you are a breeder, rancher, geneticist , etc. it would be a lot of help.


Texas (the Texas Longhorn bull)


Minnesota (the Holstein heifer)


Arizona (the 12-month-old heifer calf in question)

649lbs on grass alone. 714 if you implant her. 835 with 5 lbs of grain daily. 892 if you feed ger 5 lbs of grain a day while she is on pasture and has been implanted at first work and again at weaning. Add a few more lbs if you don't dehorn her.

Depends if it was a Texas Longhorn bull & Minnesota holstein female.
The calf weighs 0 at 12 months because it's mother died of embarrassment at birth.

Otherwise 600-700 lbs

Strongly disagree. Depends on your cow and the feed.
