[QUOTE="TXBobcat, post: 357064, member: 94"] At 6-7 months of age, most of our calves would probably weigh between 300-450 lbs. This is when we wean them, and up until that point, they have only been on pasture/hay and their mother's milk. A Longhorn X Charolais cross calf I suspect would weigh a little more. The calves I feed out go in the pen at around 18 months, and get grained for 120 days. Weight gain on these is usually 1.5 - 2.5 lbs per day. It takes longer to finish a Longhorn calf, but from my experience, the meat is very good. [/QUOTE]
