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.

Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
