Size of an Angus

I'm sure this varies, but on average what is the height/weight of an Angus heifer around 8-12 months?


Thanks

At 8 to 10 months old anywhere from 500 to 675 pounds. At 14 to 15 months old a heifer from good stock should weight 750 up and should be ready to breed. This is not an easy question to answer as there are too many variables.

Thanks for replying.

Is there a way to find out their weight with out actually using a scale? I know for horses there is a certain formula to figure their weight.

I'm sure there is a weight tape conversion chart avaliable for beef cattle. Check the internet. Just use a standard cloth tape measure and measure the animal's girth, then use the conversion chart to find the weight.
