[QUOTE="james coffelt, post: 1309679, member: 23203"] EB I am not sure I understood your post, well enough. Shorter gestation has a role in low birth weights, i.e., they are born a little early. Growth is 80% genetic, 20% milk. Pounds per acre/ranch/farm, are increased with higher stocking, and higher fertility in the right type cow. Pounds per head matters less than pounds per acre, with more 30# smaller calves (1100# vs 1400# cows, as measured here). A group of more, moderate cows, will outperform a smaller group of performance cows, all day long. I am not sure I understood, please advise. [/QUOTE]
