[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 307523, member: 2308"] Everyone is always talking about mature size. Which got me thinking :shock: . So know I am wondering if the size of a bred heifer (to a point of course) has anything to do with mature size?? That is if you took a set of identical twin heifers and fed them differently. Say you fed one to be 950 lbs as a 18 mo. bred heifer and one to be 1200 lbs. Now the smaller one shouldn't be stunted, and the bigger one will obviously be almost finished. But would there be any difference in the mature size of these animals? Providing of course that they are fed well enough after calving to continue growing? [/QUOTE]
