A post on another thread got me thinking on this......
how much of a direct relationship would there be between say a measurable stat such as (hip height-height of umbilical)/ hip height to the the weaning weight of the cow's calf?
I think it is pretty widly believed that the relationship exists, but it would be interesting to see it in numbers........
When my daughter gets a little older might be a good science fair project for her, last year she did "which do cows perfer grass or corn?" all the cows on grass ate the corn, the two cows that were still up in the calving pen picked the freshly cut grass in case anyone wondered if the grass was greener on the other side of the fence.........
