Unlike ordinary calves, which have an average birth weight of around 25 kg, super Hanwoo calves are known to have a birth weight of 40 to 50 kg and an exceptional growth rate. Jeju Livestock Agricultural Cooperative explained that the super Hanwoo cattle produced this time are the result of Hanwoo improvement projects and the use of cooperative feed tailored to their growth.
In Jeju, a super Hanwoo with a live weight of 1,265 kg and a carcass weight of 785 kg was shipped in March 2021 from Samsung Hanwoo Farm in Namwon-eup, Seogwipo City. The Hanil Farm super Hanwoo ranks fifth, following those weighing 1,242 kg in April 2021, 1,234 kg in September 2018, and 1,221 kg in July 2020.
