[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1493364, member: 14585"] Yes, I suppose you could stunt Mature cow size by stunting some at a younger age than their herd mates. But don't you believe that would carry over to weaning a smaller calf too? 1100# cows weaned 535# calves on average 1400# cows weaned 639# " " " I assumed the whole herd would have been managed the same in prior years and the mature cows were divided for the study. That would mean the lighter cows were genetically predisposed to a smaller frame size than the large cows. Yes, No? The carcass weight study showed mature cow weight (frame size) influenced the finished steer weights. [/QUOTE]
