[QUOTE="BRAFORDMAN, post: 814825, member: 14817"] I guess it worked the opposite for me. Calves are smaller this year,The majority of the cows with babies still look pregnant. Moms are in excellent condition. I went from having 60-65 lbcalves to getting some that are around 35 lbs. First calves i have ever had to just walk right through the rails of our pen without effort. I wonder does it have anything to do with the diet of the cows this winter. Cottonseed hull mixed with cotton seed meal and stock salt. Salt and trace mineral block and all natural 18% protein tubs. Cows were on this until the end of january, before the weather got really bad. They are on hay and salt and trace mineral blocks now, because of the bad weather it was not safe to pull a trailer with feed. I would have thought the feeding would have increased BW but the calves turned out smaller than last year. BUt they are growing fast and filling out. [/QUOTE]
