[QUOTE="ClinchValley86, post: 1814983, member: 38595"] This is a wild notion. I am by no means encouraging it. Just a thought I've had more than a few times. Most of the ones I've had that calved too early were stunted. Didn't get to be as big as they should have been. That said, their genetic makeup was the same and they have raised good calves since. Does that not create a more efficient animal. Lol. Their maintenance requirements are lower. Given, there would be lots of problems if one did this intentionally. How would calving tok early affect DNA. The whole epigenetic thing. Would it create smaller and smaller mature size over generations? Thoughts? 😃 [/QUOTE]
