One of my favorites-I have several. An Overlord daughter who raises a big calf, puts body and horn on her calves-has had two bulls out six of calves so far.

Dairy animals are handled differently to beef animals.I wean the calves at 1 week and then bottle feed for 2 months.During the 2 month period they are fed a protein ration twice daily and have access to grazing throughout the day.Choo-Choo Ranch":3s34f7zi said:What have her twins weighed on weaning?
I have to say, that cow is easy to look at! Nice udder, great conformation and structure, and she looks to have a very nice, tight udder. Would she be a Friesian? I know that Frisians and Holsteins are considered the same breed, but she seems to have a lot more flesh and quarter than American Holsteins. Nice cow.alisonb":3vd25uxe said:Dairy animals are handled differently to beef animals.I wean the calves at 1 week and then bottle feed for 2 months.During the 2 month period they are fed a protein ration twice daily and have access to grazing throughout the day.Choo-Choo Ranch":3vd25uxe said:What have her twins weighed on weaning?
At 2 months they are taken off milk,by that time they are eating well and their ration is increased accordingly until they are 7 months old.
They are then sent to the auction(barn).I usually have a batch of 10-15 calves ready for auction every 3 months.The calves are weighed and sold as a batch.The feedlot buyers prefer a weight of between 440-550lbs.
My records show that the twins fell well within the above margin,but i unfortunetly don't have their individual weights.Even though the dairy cows are bred with a beef bull you will notice the huge difference in weights of these calves and pure beef weights.
Thank you-She is not pure holstein,the fleshiness comes from her grandmother who was holstein/angus.blackcowz":1jlq6tj9 said:but she seems to have a lot more flesh and quarter than American Holsteins. Nice cow.
