Maybe I am looking at this Tp/Bg thing wrong when it comes to RW's in the smaller yoy lmb. I would have to agree with Pat when it comes to thinning out the herd of yearling lmb. But look at it like when you feed your bg, I would say the goal is to get them to a healthy breeding size as fast as possible where they produce more fry. So, in fact feeding bg makes them grow to fast to be eaten by yoy lmb. And with them spawning 5 times per year maybe here in E Texas then maybe too many of the bg grow to fast. At my place I would say it might be considered a rolling spawn so to say. Where as the Tp will spawn more often but fewer fry. My Tp are usually crowded out at the feeders by the bg. So they grow slower. It was not that way when the Tp were overstocked, at that time the Tp seemed to crowd out the Bg. Maybe it's the feeding the bg that may cause the problem for the smaller lmb?
