[QUOTE="Andyva, post: 1238581, member: 1022"] Your reality and my data contradict each other. My May calves are heavier than my February calves. Out of the same sire and dam. They get lighter again when the early grass peters out, then they get bigger again as the fall grass comes in and they ride that wave until mid winter. Optimum calving start for me is late February to mid March. That puts calves hitting six weeks old with fresh grass in front of them. Less udder problems, less high birth weights. If you have barn kept play cattle with free choice grain your data may differ. [/QUOTE]
