[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 710611, member: 7645"] I would let her ride until she came up open (which will probably be before she turns 7) or until she gets so poor that keeping her around is approaching animal cruelty. I wouldn't keep a heifer out of her though no matter what the heifer looked like. I don't know that the heritability of hard doing/easy fleshing is; but in my experience it is pretty high within cow families. I would whole lot rather have a cow that weans off a 550 lb heifer every year and stays in good condition on grass than one that weans a 750 lb heifer but almost dies doing it or has to be heavily supplemented too keep from dying.
