[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1765758, member: 42782"] :) That's Inga. According to breed standard an adult male German Shepherd should weigh anywhere from 75 to 90 pounds. A female German Shepherd weighs notably less at 55 to 70 pounds. Inga's a fit ranch dog and weighs 65 lbs. The calf probably weighs at least 2 Ingas maybe 3 Ingas. But I would like to know much wormer to give the calf so another Ingas worth of wormer is a big difference. [ATTACH type="full"]21298[/ATTACH] I am trying to figure the heifer's weight for this reason. I figure the eye of the stockman tends to over estimate the weight of their cattle. That's what an auction yard employee told me. [ATTACH type="full"]21300[/ATTACH] Here's this Penn State growth chart. It says my 10 week old heifer could weigh 150 lbs or she might weigh 200lbs.
