[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 17806"] The first thing to do is have them calve close to the house or barn. We have used the bathroom scale, but generally put a band around their belly and hook a scale onto the band and lift them up. Our weights are staying about the same, but every year it's harder to heft them. Could it be old age? > How does one go about weighing a > new born calf in the field without > going all the way back to the barn > with it?
