[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 352211, member: 4353"] I've always wondered how much weight gain there could be from newborn (before its first drink) and 3 days (max age for birth weight recording in herefords in SA). To my mind it seems as it could make a major difference. I have tried the girth tape, but for it to be succesfull with any degree of accuracy the calf needs to be standing in a normal position. Not too many newborns would be quite that cooperative at my place. It will have to be the bathroom scales while holding the calf in your arms again this season. [/QUOTE]
