[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1796448, member: 38220"] We weighed replacement heifers yesterday and ultrasound scanned them. The mid-March heifers weighed 722-842 and the two early April heifers were around 650. They have been run on pasture with a ring bale feeder that they can access free choice - we do not feed grain to heifers. They will all be AI bred the last week or May or first week of June for early March calves and then run with the clean up bull the rest of the summer. Some will weigh 750 and some will be 950 at first breeding, but they all need to have a chance to calve in March. The April heifers will be 23 months at calving if they stick to AI. The usually gain very well on summer grass starting around May 1. [/QUOTE]
