Weaned a calf today, he weighed 813 pounds. Out of Springfield Ramesses an ABS bull. Heaviest calf I have ever weaned. Here are some pics AAA# 19391143 https://postimg.cc/gallery/2xdotm4vo.

Your feed appears to be a bit too hot. Look at his front feet, they are beginning to out grow his age and with his claw set it could be a really big issue for him down the road. From your picture it looks like he has a unusually large head, but the picture is taken from an angle that isn't flattering. Kudos for getting a bull to 800 lbs at weaning.

Is to much protein not good? Should I use more energy type feed for calves ie. wheat , triticale ? I noticed his feet also.
