[QUOTE="True Grit Farms, post: 1496248, member: 24694"] I like a heifer to calve by 20 months, if not sooner. There's more than one way to keep frame size down and calf size up. Some of my best cows calved at 16 to 18 months and are moderate framed. Now that we use a breeding season and condition our heifers before breeding our cow size has definitely got larger. Our easy doing cattle are becoming more dependent on hay and feed every generation. Those big olé cows sure look good, but don't work in a commercial herd that has to scrap and make their own way without help. [/QUOTE]
