200 day Weights part II
We have been housing our June and July born calves. At the same time we treated the calves with Cydectin and Rispoval Intranasal and weighted cows and calves. 13 pure bred Beef Shorthorn calves were housed and weighed. 5 heifers average 133 days old with a weight gain of 0.92 kgs/day. Heifers were sired by 3 different bulls Dunsyre North Star, Sutherland Bundaberg and Cavans Pole Star. 8 male averaged 135 days old with a gain of 1.05 kgs/day. Males were sire by 3 different bulls Dunsyre North Star, Cavans Pole Star and Cavans Appalachian. No creep feed has been fed to the calves. The 11 dams including 5 calved heifers averaged 600 kgs.
