The last couple seasons I tried to see what the girls on the bottom of my racks did as far as follicle development, growth and a couple other things. From my findings over two seasons and 24 different (2 racks, bottom 2 levels) females I have never had any of those females grow any type of follicles. I have been using an ultrasound the last two seasons so I am able to see any size follicle the female has.

However, with these females on the bottom I have found that ALL of them grew much larger and faster than the other girls in the racks. Even the females in other parts of the rack that didn't go that year did not grow as large as these females during the winter solstice.

The rest of the racks I would have no idea. I tend to move females to various positions throughout the racks during the winter to kinda change things up for the girls. But I kept the bottom two levels the same just to experiment.
