What is the weight of an angus cow at 12 and 18 months?
Most Angus cows are already past this age--they are mature female bovines that have already had a calf and are past 2 years of age.
What is the average weight of a 3 month old angus calf?
Around 300 lbs.
How much does an Angus calf weigh at 6 months of age?
Usually around 600 lbs.
How do you get a black calf with a white face?
You can either buy one--off a local producer who sells such calves or from your local salebarn--or you can get one yourself by breeding an Angus cow with a Hereford bull (or a Hereford cow with an Angus bull). Even breeding a modern-type Simmental cow with an Angus bull (or vice versa) will get you a black-baldy calf.
How old is a 600 pound calf?
Depends on the breed and body condition of the calf. A 600 lb Jersey calf can be around 7 to 8 months old, whereas a 600 lb miniature calf may not be a calf at all, but a 15 month old heifer or bull. A soggy Angus calf at 600 lbs may be at around 5 to 6 months of age.
Can a Black Angus calf be bottlefed?
Yes, if that's what it takes to save the calf!

How long is a black angus cow pregnant?
The average weaning time would be 8-10 months. The mother will naturally wean the calf around 12 months.
What is the Lactation length of a Angus Cow?
The length of lactation in an Angus cow is for as long as she has her calf on her, which is around 6 to 10 months.
What is the average weight of a 3 month old angus calf?
Around 300 lbs.
How much does an Angus calf weigh at 6 months of age?

Can you get a pure black calf from a baldy hereford and a black angus?
No. A Hereford already has a white face, so no use calling Herefords "baldy herefords." The genes for a white face is dominant to that of a coloured face like black, red, tan, etc. So, if you bred an Angus bull with a Hereford cow you will ultimately and always get a calf that is black with a white face. The only time you will get a small (16%) chance of getting a purely black calf is if you breed an F1 black baldy cow with an F1 black baldy bull. Another 16% will give you an all black calf that is horned (from the genes of the calf's grandsire or granddam, which ever was a Hereford (non-polled)). However, if you breed an Angus bull to an F1 black baldy cow, you will have a 50% chance of getting a pure-black calf.
Why are some calves born different colors?
Genetics. The genes in the momma cow combine with the genes from the calf's sire to create a calf with either the same colouration of the cow or not. What breed the calf's sire matters to. For instance, a Hereford sire bred to an Angus cow results in a black-baldy calf. Or, an Angus cow that has a recessive gene for Red colour and is bred to either a Red Angus bull or a Black Angus bull also with a heterozygous gene for the red gene can most likely produce a red calf. And the examples go on.

What color is the calf if you breed a black bull with a white cow?
That all depends on the breed[s] of either the sire and the dam.Basically, though, if the black bull is Angus, and the white cow is Charolais, then the calf that results will come out grey.
What is the birth weight of an Angus calf?
Birth weights average around 40 to 70 lbs, depending on genetics influenced by his dam and sire.
