It's not the size, it's the weight. Look in the archives for the relative weight chart for LMB. If your LMB are stunted (under RW by a lot) then remove around 30# per surface acre this year of the LMB that are 15% - 20% (or more) underweight for their length. Wait a month or so after they've gone off the beds to get a more representative weight.
