Perhaps Jim might comment on pendulous udders in developing calves
produced from cows on estrogenic pasture.

If I had ever heard of this effect before I would. Certainly never come
across it, have you any evidence for it?

Sorry I was mixing two sections, but estrogenic compounds seem to cause
mammary problems:

I think you better download the pdf and actually read it, it is the course
notes for a complete dairy course and no where does it mention estrogenic
pasture.

The only mention of estrogenic is

Example: estrogenic compounds can affect mammary
rudiment in embryonic development of the glands

which is absolutely true but has nothing to do with pasture.

Why would estrogenic compounds have nothing to do with estrogenic pasture?

As I said I posted how estrogenic pasture affects sheep, their genitalia,
and reduces their fertility, maybe permanently. (Spelling: oestrogenic)

Who is going to fund a study about what the more estrogenic Roundup Ready
corn does to cattle in the second generation?
