[QUOTE="dun, post: 489454, member: 34"] As long as the BW is low and the WW and YW are acceptable, I see no problem with a low BW. If the low BW carrys through to low WW and YW then it would be a negative. I suppose the environemtn the calves are born in and the time of year could also have a bearing. If I was calving in the cold nasty north I would want something heavier for the simple reason that the more mass would be easier to keep warm. The last part is the tricky one. Some breeders are scrupulous in getting accuarte weights, others not so much. You can trust the numbers as much as you can trust the breeder. [/QUOTE]
