[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1818848, member: 9933"] I had a heifer get bred at 4 months and calve 4 days short of 13 months old. (Not planned obviously). She went on to raise 3 more calves before I had to cull her for a bad attitude at 4 years old. She was normal size and if it stunted her growth I could not tell. She weighed 1420 pounds when she weaned that 4th calf. Perhaps she would have been 1600 pounds if she had not calved as a yearling. We will never know. I breed all my cows to calve at 2 years, so most are bred at 14 to 15 months. I would not think 12 months would have much impact on growth, but some may not be cycling yet. I expect most would be though. [/QUOTE]
