spreads out there vs ever b4.

My thinking is that the calf needs to look RIGHT for the cow from a calf size standpoint.

Heck 12 to 13 wt cows are just right having 85 to 95 lb calves for example.

Spreading bw to low also tends to risk what some may call itty bitty calf syndrome.
If their true genetic spread missed for example, it takes em forever ( and maybe never too ) to get to par type 3 to 3.25 lb wda kinda performance which most folks expect from today's cattle.
