[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 352498, member: 2308"] I am planning to do MOST of our calves, and there is about 150 left to calve. So we will see in the end. The problem that I see with it is that it only takes into account hoof circumfrence, not the shape of the calf or the condition of the calf when it is born. We used a bathroom scale for a while. Worked well enough, as long as you weren't too heavy, and as long as you could lift the calf and then lean over it to read the weight. We had a few that I couldn't do that with ;-) [/QUOTE]
