[QUOTE="edrsimms, post: 697283, member: 10970"] [b]The first two trimesters includes peak milk. I dont need a gestation table or graph it is a fact and peak milk falls in the period you are discussing and that is the highest nutritional requirement all year for a broodcow, LOL. No peak milk doesn't fall because a calf is being weaned-- you are incorrect; rather Peak milk is a time period between month 2 and 3 post-calving and past that point in time--- milk production decreases up until weaning, thus nutrition requirements also decrease-- then she dries off at weaning and is at its lowest all year. Nutritional requirements do begin to increase although very little up to her next calving date. This is how it is-- graph or no graph. [/b] am talking about the FIRST TWO TRIMESTERS, NOT peak milk. Again, have a look at a gestation/lactation graph; or shall I post if for you for all to see? Peak milk falls because the calf is being weaned or does not need milk at that time, thus nutrition for the COW is not as high as it is that I had pointed out previously. You are not only saying that I am CORRECT, but you are also pointing out the obvious that is RELATED to WHY I said the cow does not need as much nutrition as in other periods of gestation/lactation.
