[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 688013, member: 4353"] I'd say under my conditions breeding at 21 months would probably be the easiest on the heifer as I run them very extensively and don't feed them at all. I breed my heifers to calf at 2 years with the rest of the herd, if for some reason I'm not able to breed them then they grow wheels very quickly. The only reason these heifers aren't bred yet is because I changed from 2 calving seasons to one and they are the genetics I'm building my breeding program on so I couldn't let them go. I just kept the three very best back and sold the rest, which was probably a fault now that I have the wisdom of hindsight. These 3 heifers were born in the summer of 2007, they get bred next month along with the heifers born last winter. [/QUOTE]
