[QUOTE="John Wayne, post: 496809, member: 5769"] To quote Dr. Scott Lake D.V.M of the Purdue School of Agriculture Research "The only way you could influence the birth weight of a calf at birth by feeding the Dam would be to feed an extreme amount of both protein and energy"---- we were talking about the third trimester for the purpose of this discussion. "There seems to be no research that supports the old wives tale that feed in the last trimester influences BW" He did say you are going to take a lot of flack if you say this but it is still the truth. Now on the other hand the grass you grow this year is not the same grass you grew last year. It can very a lot depending on inviromental factors. The link below should go to the site with about 50 research works done on BW of calfs if not just cut and paste or google 'pubmed.gov' and do a search. It's the bull you should have hit him with a stick------------------------ I crack me up. Dystocia in beef heifers: a review of genetic and nutritional influences.N Z Vet J. 2006 Dec;54(6):256-64. Review. Erratum in: N Z Vet J. 2007 Feb;55(1):48. PMID: 17151722 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] [url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez[/url] [/QUOTE]
