You might have yellow pine studs - hard as rock now.
Yes - tons of pine around here - in the middle of East Texas Piney woods. I suspect they are just junk 2x4 and not clear wood (knots are not in studs).
I look at houses - I don't see 2x4 on houses.
Mart> Mart>> 24 feet by 30 feet - that isn't small.
