[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1695645, member: 24816"] Weaned around 7 months, usually sold a couple months later, weighing a little over 500. Her last years Hereford cross calf was sold at around 11 months and weighed somewhere around 650, not sure exactly right off hand. He brought probably .15 under the straight Herefords in that Hereford influence sale, and was graded as light muscled. Her calf this year is currently probably atleast 50 lbs behind his contemporaries. I like the cow and think that she does earn her keep, but am not ready to actually want a whole herd of them. Even though I do believe those kind of cattle have some good traits, the limited growth and dock at sale time doesn't make them appealing to me on a large scale, in the same way that smaller framed beef cows don't appeal to me, although if our market didn't penalize them I would like the smaller cows.
