A calf can get as big as its breeding allows. Some calves can reach around 750 lbs at weaning time, others are a bit smaller. Calves keep growing past their weaning and past the point they are calves (which is at weaning time), and they stop growing when they are around 3 to 4 years of age. Cattle that are slaughtered for beef, however, do not see this termination of growth because they are slaughtered a year and a half after they are born.
Normal weight of a new born baby calf is around 65 lbs, but can range between 35 to 120 depending on breed and other factors

Most calves are around 3 feet tall; bigger or leggier calves may be taller.
