[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1574745, member: 19683"] Rarely you can tell a real calves weight without weighing. Have been weighing calves for quite a while already, but still sometimes can't guess the weight right. You probably will have more trouble with 100lbs short, barrel-like calf, than 120lbs long, slim calf. We had to assist 121lb calf from a heifer, as he had some wide shoulders, 124lbs char bull from a cow and 95lbs heifer from a cow. The last one normally would have calved well, but the cow probably hasn't opened well and wasn't progressing in calving for a while. She doesn't have milk now, so I guess she has a lack of some minerals or hormonal imbalance. At the moment bw average is around 111lbs. [/QUOTE]
