[QUOTE="Nutmegger, post: 1303665, member: 24691"] Thank you, Walnut, for posting this. It is very interesting. I spent a few hours reading the linked article and references cited in the linked article, and I finished by telling myself I need to re-read all of it to absorb more details. That's the sign of an excellent post! Ebenezer makes an excellent point about the fallacy of pairing a high milk EPD to a forage base that may not support it. And now I'm trying to sort out the possibility of mismatching an ADG EPD to a forage base. I've generally sought out modest birth weights with high growth rates, but I'm wondering if I've inadvertantly made the mistake to which Ebenezer referred? Finally, Cross-7, can you expand on this phrase from your comment: "...the less cows see each other the better". I think I understand the comment, but I'm trying to reconcile it with the idea of higher herd density & short duration grazing vis-a-vis the Savory Holistic Management system. Thanks, all, for the interesting post and comments. [/QUOTE]
