[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 412472, member: 57"] well, judging by the stature of that little cow, it wouldnt surpise me if she got bred early before she was very big. probably had a bull calf. calf sucked her down, kept her from growing anymore, kind of stunted her. probably raised a decent bull and probably didnt breed back on time. big bull calf bred her. or maybe a brother. stunted calves like that also result from milk deprivation. another idea is that maybe a big sibling was getting all this little fellers milk (colostrum included)... just stunting him. in that case inbreeding depression would have nothing to do with it. very likely as well. all of this is just speculation of course. just relating what ive lived and learned. :oops: [/QUOTE]
