[QUOTE="mtnman, post: 259658, member: 836"] "Early weaned (EW) cattle gained 0.7 lbs/d and normal weaned (NW) cattle gained 2.4 lbs/d from June 6, 2002 to October 4, 2002." Key point here. These early weaned cattle were held back. In most others studies, they weren't. This probably explains why we didn't see differences like in the other studies. "Early weaning has previously been shown to improve marbling and carcass quality when early weaned calves are fed a high concentrate diet. However, early weaning using a forage-based growing system did not influence carcass quality." Also note, that the authors stated earlier in the report that this study was different than other early weaning studies. mtnman [/QUOTE]
