[QUOTE="Meador_m, post: 710215, member: 7160"] The reason for this is that staying alive is at the top of the nutritional needs... Reproduction and lactation are at the bottom. Reproduction is actually the last thing, thats why when a pregnant cow runs out of food she will abort a calf, then dry up, loose hair, etc. etc. etc, before she finally falls over dead. Therefore, since a freemartin does not worry about these needs at all, she can use all of the protein and amino acids for strictly staying healthy and putting on more weight and fat. So in summary there is a huge difference... however, i would not do this unless i just had an abundance of grass, there is no way i would feed this aninal grain if she could not make me some money down the road.
