[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1788242, member: 24027"] My heifers are measured at 11 months instead of the "standard" 12 months, turned out at 15 months to calve at 24. Give or take. Yes, maybe a little wiggle room if I held her back and had her measured again, turned her out later. But that defeats my management system. All retained heifers are born within the first few weeks of the calving season from proven lineages, so they're uniform in age, size, development. In a perfect world, they'd also calve around the same time, breed back, etc. So, she'll take a trailer ride. Either to the sale barn or private treaty to a friend that finishes calves and sells by half or whole. Kinda sad cuz she's super sweet and cute as a button.
