That Year 1-5 is very interesting to me.

First off is the steady decline from a high RW to a sub 100RW at year 1.
Continued, but lower RW into year 2.
Back to 100 RW for year 3
Back to below RW for year 4
Then at year 5 above RW that they maintain for the rest of the study at varrying RW's.

Is this due to lack something early in the way of forage?
I guess I would have assumed that if all LMB went through this that RW for year 1 would be more similar and dropped below 100.

Haven't read the study yet, but will this evening when I get a little quite time around here. Thanks for posting.
