[QUOTE="W.B., post: 1572260, member: 3518"] As time goes we have all selected for more calving ease. I will bet even Silver has backed his birth weights down from ten years ago. By selecting for less birth weight we are also shortening gestation. We might not notice it but after 2 to 3 generations of this it reflects in cows with shorter gestation periods. We have had crappy weather and I haven’t noticed a birth weight increase. Three day snow total around 2 ft. Hopefully the wind lets up some today. [/QUOTE]
