[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 91468, member: 968"] Don't know what you are so surprised at. We have been weaning 700# calves for 20 years. As most on the board know, we raise purebred Simmentals. If a calf doesn't weigh 100# per number of months old, they are not keeping up to what we are shooting for. Our calves (adjusted to 205 days weights) range between 600# & 800+#. Have had one calf with a 205 day weight of 905#. You are welcome to check out our web site. We feed them grass, free choice mineral & mom's milk - no creepfeed. I'm sure if we butchered them at 750# they would be REALLY tender, but sure would be little return on a full year's investment in a cow. I'd rather see them finished out to 1300#-1400# at about 14-15 months old. I personnally don't feed out our own cattle, but I retain ownership on some that get finished out each year. These are fairly common weights for most beef cattle of all breeds. [/QUOTE]
