Best Answer

It depends on their gender, breed, nutrient level and genetics. Continentals will have higher yearling weights than British breeds; bulls will have heavier yearling weights than heifers; bulls will have heavier yearling weights than steers. Yearlings are no longer babies, but quite literally "teenagers." A yearling Charolais bull may weigh around 1800 lbs, where Charolais yearling heifers can weigh up to around 1100 lbs. A yearling Angus heifer may weigh around 875 lbs, or even up to 1000 lbs, depending on her genetics and the mature weights of her sire and dam; a yearling Angus bull may weigh around 1500 to 1800 lbs. A yearling Jersey bull may weigh around 1300 lbs, whereas a yearling Jersey heifer may be a light 650 lbs. A Red Angus steer may have a yearling weight of only 800 lbs.
