[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1603425, member: 968"] You have to take the twins out of the equation - gestation length and BW. So, your lower average (right now) is not much of a difference. If you eliminate the twins, is your gestation length still considerably lower than Simm. of 285? From what others on this board has said, the extreme heat tends to make cows calve early. So, if your cows are calving earlier, your BW's will be lower. Mainly, I think you hit the main reason - less calves out of high BW SIRES. New calf looks nice - yippee HEIFER!! Waiting for my last fall cow to calve - due 10-22. [/QUOTE]
