[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1396632, member: 1715"] Sounds like you were limit feeding before and calves were not able to express their genetic potential. That is why some operators are wasting dollars on high WW bulls. Not enough feed on the golf course like pasture for them to fill up. If you rotate or supplement to insure there is always feed available - - then calves will grow a bit faster in a dry year due to higher nutrient content/less water content in the forage. [/QUOTE]
