[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1545299, member: 27490"] Absolutely, that is a given. The question is: what produces those shorter and shorter gestation periods and thus a continual decline in birth weight. The end result being small weak calves. In the Simmental Breed, I don't see shorter gestation periods in low birth weight bulls. They simply inherit and pass on the genetic predisposition to produce a smaller calf in the same gestation period which is 285 days in Simmentals. Uno Mas is low birth weight deluxe but the gestation period is still 285 days. [/QUOTE]
