[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1496362, member: 19683"] Don't see anything bad at calving heifers abit older. Had calved some pretty young (not intentionally), two at 15 months, one at 20 months. The first two are calving okay, but always stayed on the smaller side. The third one had a big dead heifer calf, a hard pull and uterine prolapse... We usually calve at ~30months age, but it's different from each animal. This year going to have one heifer calving abit earlier. She was born in June and should calve in July or August. Will see how she does. She's Angusx. We might gonna try to breed our replacement heifers abit earlier this summer. They'll be AI'ed, but will stay on meal for some time to keep them growing. Will see if they'll perform well. [/QUOTE]
