Is it just my cows or are other folks seeing similar? So far, winter 2011-2012 the birth weights of my calves is below what they usually are by 5-10LBs. Calves are just as thrifty, spunky and hardy as usual, just smaller. Same bull for the last 3 years. Everyone that's calved so far has been right on schedule (w/in a few days either way). Same mineral for this time of year.
I'm thinking perhaps its because we've had such a mild winter. I mean really mild. Kind of along the lines of dun's thread about tight bags, mine have also not been bagging-up like usual.
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed a difference in their birthweights.
