CROSS-BREEDING FOR MILK 381
Weights.
F.1 calves suckle their dams and grow at a quicker rate into bigger animals.
F.2 and. F.3 calves are handfed, consequently they do not grow so quickly, it is
difficult to supervise the proper feeding of these animals, with milk at the proper
temperature and stomach troubles are frequent.
The average weights of calves at birth are:—

standing 51 inches and the smallest 45 inches. In F. 2 cows the heaviest cow is
894 lb. and the smallest is 672 lb., the heights being 51 inches and 44 inches. In
F.3 the heaviest cow is 796 lb, and the smallest 567 lb., the heights being 47½ inches
