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

Is it bad to wean beef calves before 5 months?
Weaning beef calves before 5 months can be detrimental if not managed properly, as it may lead to nutritional deficiencies and stress for the calves. Generally, calves are best weaned between 6 to 8 months to ensure they receive adequate nutrition from their mothers and can adapt to a solid diet. However, if calves are healthy, well-fed, and acclimatized to eating solid food, early weaning can be successful, especially in certain management systems. Ultimately, the decision should consider the calves' health, growth rates, and overall management practices.
