[QUOTE="dun, post: 1408654, member: 34"] The reason your calves are smaller is simple, grain fed vs grass fed. Basic husbandry is doing what needs to be done to make your animals profitable. Several things that can point to possibly problems is having heifers Repro Tract Scored as yearling, Breeding Soundness Exam for bulls, insuring adequate nutrition for the animals to develop to their potential. Grass fed beef requires much more attention to nutrition then grain fed for the simple reason that grass doesn;t have the nutritional value that grain does. That doesn;t mean you have to feed grain or if you feed grain you don;t have to pound it to them. Grass farmer first! Proper grass/forage selection along with proper fertility and management can go a goodly way to decreasing the difference between grain and grass. [/QUOTE]
