[QUOTE="dbirdsong, post: 1550240, member: 26699"] I did the math and my calves are averaging 22 pounds heavier at birth than they did last year. That seems to be beyond what you would expect genetically. I did use more performance oriented sires but my cleanup bull last year was a Harvestor x Density son so the calves aren’t genetically that much different for birth weight. The only thing that I did differently was leave protein tubs out this fall. Could that make such a increase in birth weights? [/QUOTE]
