Usually around 80 pounds, newborn. Healthy newborn Calves can range from 40 to 140 pounds in the extremes. Most calves heavier than about 110 pounds have trouble standing up for a few days. The average birth weight varies by breed and ranchers select the trait they want, e.g. breeding heifers to a bull that produces small calves so they have an easier time calving. This trait is called 'calving ease.'

Depends on the breed and each individual bull. Some may only weigh around 1000 lbs, others may weigh over 2000 lbs. Usually the higher weaning weights (or 205-day weight) a bull calf has, the higher the yearling weight he'll have.

Do cows have bulls for babies?

Yes. The only thing is that this "bull" is actually called a bull calf: the "calf" part of "bull" is dropped after the calf reaches around yearling age (~9 to 10 months of age). A cow has just as much of a chance of giving birth to a bull calf as a heifer calf. The sex or gender of her calf is determined by the sperm of the bull she was bred to, not the cow herself.

How much does a steer weigh at birth?

A steer is not born as a steer because a steer is a castrated bull-calf. In other words, a bull calf is born then castrated (or "steered") a few days or months after birth, or right at weaning, depending on the producer. A bull-calf's birth weight depends on its breeding. He can be as small as 30 lbs (miniature cattle) or as large as over 100 lbs (larger breeds like Chianina, Simmental, or Charolais).
