When should a young heifer be put in calf?
Young heifers, as in heifers that are younger than 6 months of age, should NEVER be bred to calf, as this is much too young for them and too hard on their growing bodies. The youngest a heifer can be bred at is when they are 15 months old. Most heifers reach puberty by the time they are 11 or 12 months old, but shouldn't be bred until they are either 60% or 70% of the average weight of the main cowherd, or reach 15 months of age. Most of the time it is the weight that many cattle producers rely on for best calf production of the heifers, as sometimes a heifer that reaches 15 months of age is still too small to be bred.

What is the weight of a weaned calf?
This all depends on the age that the calf was weaned and its breeding. Sex is irrelevant for this question, though heifers tend to weigh around 25 to 30 lbs less than bull or steer calves. British beef calves can weigh around 500 to 600 lbs when they are weaned around 6 months of age; when weaned at around 10 months of age, they can weigh around 750 to 800 lbs. Continentals on the other hand, will weigh around 700 to 750 at 6 months of age, and up to 900 lbs if they aren't weaned until they're around 10 months of age. Beef calves that are weaned earlier will weigh less than those that are weaned between 6 and 10 months of age. Dairy calves, which are weaned off the bottle or bucket, are often lighter. Holstein and Brown Swiss calves, when weaned at 3 months of age, will weigh around 200-275 lbs; Jersey calves weaned at the same age will more often weigh only 150 to 200 lbs. Remember thus: The smaller the calf, the lighter the weights. The earlier the calf is weaned, the lighter the calf will weight. And vice versa for both.

The human baby. A human baby depends on his/her parents for 16 to 18 years. By contrast, a calf depends on its mother for 8 months of its life, and a puppy will stay with its mom for a year or so, even though weaning age is around 6 weeks.
