Obviously, they can weigh over 1200 pounds but it is all on the genetics of the family line. I know they can first calf at 24 months but it seems cows grow just a little between 24 months and 36 months. I never meant to imply all my grandfather's were barely at 1100 pounds. No doubt some were considerably above that. A 975 pound Holstein does not have to be starving as the cow only needs to be a couple inches or so not as long as the 1100 pound animal and a little smaller barrel. I've seen smallish cows kept in the string if the production is respectable but not fantastic and the family is good at putting out heifers. Obviously, if a farmer is using embryo transplants then that trait is far less important. I can remember one guy's best cow threw nearly 2/3's bulls over its adult life. Lastly, I would point out I am trying to recall information from 50 years ago considering mom's father so it is possible my memory may be off a little plus I was a kid then.
