[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1718964, member: 40587"] Watching an auction online today, in Oklahoma. Pen after pen of steers or heifers would come in the ring. The auctioneer announced they had 1, 2 or 3, rounds ( I assume vaccinations, etc.) and that they were 45, 60. or 90 days weaned. Angus, black baldies, reds and Charolais. The average weights in these groups, were 395 to 427. How the hell can a 9 mos ( assuming weaned at 6 mos old, 90 days ago) old beef calf weight just 400lbs? Reckon people are weaning them at 3 months old? Even the Ang x Corr cross calves we wean at 6 mos are 400-450,, same as other commercial calves weaned at 6 mos. [/QUOTE]
