[QUOTE="sunnyblueskies, post: 1743430, member: 39112"] No, they are not from different stock. I'm starting to think it comes down to environmental factors (very cold winter) and probably lack of something, if it is certain minerals or lack of something in the feed (hay). Others in the area noticed some unexplained larger calves in cows and heifers too, which would probably fit the cold winter/higher consumption of feed narrative. Figuring out why our heifers seem to do poorly this year (not all of them) I don't know at this point, was it something during last summer/pasture or something due to feed in the winter.........suppose it's all after the fact now.
