[QUOTE="redcowsrule33, post: 1819094, member: 8629"] Was reading some random articles from Meat and Livestock Australia and found this interesting tidbit: Dystocia is an abnormal or difficult birth or labour, and results from a foetal-pelvic disproportion. Several factors can cause dystocia, including: [LIST] [*]large calf size – a function of genetics of both maternal and paternal traits, as well as varying rates of maternal nutrition from conception through to birth. [*]placental size – potentially important; a function of nutrition at conception through to about day 80 of gestation. A positive correlation between placental size and birthweight of the calf is well documented, and excessive nutrition immediately post-joining can influence calf size. [/LIST] Never thought about the first three months having an influence on weight. Everyone looks at the end of gestation. [/QUOTE]
