[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1496476, member: 6291"] I was responding to the responses after the op. If they are all only talking about Angus than I apologize. The idea is that animals that may stretch at 1-2 years may not strectch at 2-3 due to being fully developed. Every thing I am reading shows no proof that breeding early has any other benefit than getting one more calf out. It's debated if it is actually profitable due to higher numbers of calving issues, higher culling rates, potential for breed back issues, added feed and lower weaning weights. None of the studies adress the long term physical effects on calving before being fully developed. [/QUOTE]
