AVERAGE WEIGHT OF CALVES
University OF lilinois-Factors
That Influence.

A very welI-bred lioIstcin bull calf
weighing H. pounds was recently
dropped at the Kansas state agricul
tural college farm at Manhattan. Most
of the dairy infants. however, weigh
considerably less than this Kansas
heavyweight.
In the dairy herds of the University
of Illinois the average weights of the
calves of the various breeds at birth
have been rs follows: HolStpin male.
90 lbs. female. IS lbs. AYRSHIRE male.
III; female. III Guernsey male, 10;
female. GSS: Jersey male, 62.I; fe-
male. 5oT HIS.
1t is a good practice to note and
record the approximate weights of
calves at birth. because this informa.
tion is valuable in a%pportioning mix
to the young animals. The ll2-pound
Kansas giant. for instance. could
handle n feeding Of milk that would
put u Jersey calf of average weight
in line for castor oil.
Besides breed and sire. heredity and
the age. size and physical condition
of the dam influence birth weights,
