[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1433003, member: 5381"] Even a animal that would normally be average size will stay small if she calves too early it seems to me. I guess if you left them open for a while they would grow out some but I don't know. I have a couple in my herd that I bought for a song in the 700 lb range that were 6 months or so bred. They now have their 3rd calf and I doubt if they are over 850. They do okay and wean off a calf about 500 lbs at 7 months. If they were a problem I would get rid of them but they are easy keepers and good mama's but they do get bullied around some. One thing about it, you can buy them cheap and if you can get the first calf on the ground, they can make you a decent return on your investment for years to come. [/QUOTE]
