[QUOTE="Dana Kopp, post: 153585, member: 873"] Not really contradictory, just nature. Smaller cows reach maturity faster, breed back faster and carry better condition than bigger cows because their bodies aren't using all the nutrition to grow in height, etc this is probably most noticable when they are young. Smaller cows don't need as much feed for themselves to be better conditioned and therefore extra nutrition can be passed on to the calf. Of course there are always the exceptions depending on milking ability, feed, etc. [/QUOTE]
