Not a tractor question, but I need your help.Im looking to buy this Herford heifer calf. 8 months old. What do you think it weighs. Value?
Pics not the best. Thanks Ray

Maybe 350 to 500, its hard to say because there is nothing in the pic to compare her size to. Maybe only 200-350.
 
I"m going to say close to 500#, calves around here are up but I"d say $.80-.90/ #. Definately weigh her first, id say thats a fair price though if shes 300-600#.
 
8 months old? Well, just judging by what I see in the picture I'd say around 425lbs, but any herford should weigh more than that at 8 months of age.
 
Oh, as far as price I'd say in the neighborhood of .80-.90 as well. Herfords are significantly cheaper than black angus, and red angus as well. Solid colors are the premium price.
 
I sure wouldn't pay market price for that calf unless that's a real bad picture. Looks wormy or mulnourished, just doesn't look healthy to me. Take a chance at $200.
 
If any interest at all, I'd offer $200-300 for her, give her a black leg, lepto, penecillin shot; pour on de-wormer then put good feed in front of her. I didnt think she looked too bad for a hereford, I've seen alot of them wooly haired, that seems to be one of their traits. She didnt look too overly thin, just short in heighth.
 
Looks like she didn't have much to eat to be 8 months old plus Herfords don't bring near what a Black or black white face will bring.If you can buy her cheap she'd be OK to breed to a Black Bull
