[QUOTE="gcreekrch, post: 1675486, member: 14161"] Mature cows here would weigh 1300, heifers calve at mostly 850 to 1000 lbs. We do use light bw bulls on heifers, a little heavier on second calf and 85 to 100 lb bw bulls on mature cows. An 1100 lb cows should be able to have a 90 lb calf unassisted. We sell cows at 8 and 9 years old while they are still worth a good dollar to others. Due to this fact there are a lot of heifers and young cows in our herd. Our ten year overall average is about 470 lbs across the board at an average of 180 days of age. Our summer feed is less than excellent and exercise by predators helps keep weights down also.
