How much does a cow weigh?

1. The birth weight of calves is about 50 jin to 80 jin. Generally, the birth weight of small native cattle calves in China is about 50 jin, the birth weight of medium cattle breeds is about 50 jin, and the birth weight of large cattle is about 80 jin. Individual calf birth weight can reach 100 jin, but such calf production cows often have dystocia phenomenon, if not handled properly, can also lead to calf death due to suffocation, cow death due to dystocia. Therefore, during the breeding period, the majority of cattle farmers must reasonably carry out the proportion of cattle feed, feed reasonably, and make the cattle have sufficient exercise, so as to produce healthy calves.

Cows are the basis for herd development, and a cattle farm of a certain size should have a healthy, high-yielding base herd of cows. The weight of a cow depends on the breed. The weight of an indigenous small yellow cow is about 300 jin to 600 jin. A fine breed yellow cattle (such as Luxi yellow cattle, Yanbian cattle, etc.) adult cow weight in 800 jin to 1000 jin. A fine breed beef cattle (such as Simmental cattle, Limousin cattle, etc.) adult cow weight in 1500 jin to 1600 jin. When you choose a base cow, you must choose a cow with a larger size and better production performance. However, it is not necessarily the heavier the better. If the cow is too fat, it should not be selected as the base cow. Such cows often have low reproductive rate.

Bulls are an important guarantee for improving herds, and excellent bulls must be selected when cows are in estrus. Generally, the weight of adult cattle of indigenous small cattle ranges from 600 jin to 800 jin. An adult bull of a fine breed cattle weighs between 1000 jin and 1200 jin. A fine breed beef cattle adult bull weighs between 2000 jin and 2400 jin, and the largest cattle weighs 2800 jin. When selecting a bull, be sure to choose a bull that is large, good in shape and strong in sperm motility, but the heavier the better. General small native cattle basic cow with improved cattle bull, not with small cattle on the way to the production of cattle such a small individual, not with improved cattle bull such a production of cattle large individual, easy to produce dystocia. Basic cattle of improved cattle generally select improved beef cattle for mating, which can improve the quality of cattle, increase growth speed and individual size. Beef stock cows generally select excellent beef cattle bulls for mating in order to breed better beef calves.

4. General native cattle fattened to about 500 jin for slaughter, improved cattle fattened to about 1000 jin for slaughter, and improved beef cattle fattened to about 1500 jin for slaughter. The fattening of native cattle is mostly carried out by grazing, which can reduce the feeding cost. The cost of captivity is relatively high, while the growth of native cattle is slow. The profit of captive cattle is very low. Native cattle are fattened by grazing. Improved yellow cattle can be fattened in captivity, grazing fattening, or semi-captive and semi-grazing fattening. Beef cattle fattening is generally carried out in captivity. This fattening method requires higher feed ratio and attention should be paid to disease prevention and control.
