[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1796437, member: 968"] Not that I disagree with anyone holding heifers for an older age, but I don't do that here. If you raise your replacement heifers to grow to their capability (breed/genetics), you easily can breed all your heifers to calve at 24 months of age. After weaning, my heifers are raised thru our harsh winter on baleage and whole shell corn (4-5#/hd/day). If you have a "calving season", all your calves are born in a specific time frame. If you don't breed them to calve at 24 months of age, then they are calving outside that calving "season". This will only work if you have 2 calving seasons. As you can see, we all have strong ideas on what is the best program - but remember, it's a program that works for US, in our location, with our resources, and our management. Here are 2 of my heifers that we are breeding now for a Jan/Feb calving: [url=https://postimg.cc/143P3pv7][img]https://i.postimg.cc/nVvLT2Bx/SV-2023-TD3-K-S-S.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://postimages.org/]free image hosting website[/url] [url=https://postimg.cc/67C6CtZH][img]https://i.postimg.cc/mr5cfrgG/SV-2023-Z3-K-S-S-2.jpg[/img][/url] [/QUOTE]
