[QUOTE="CPL, post: 570983, member: 6346"] It's common for most people to calve heifer's at 2 yrs. (24 months) So just take 24 minus 9 and 15 months. That is about standard. However if she's under weight, unhealthy, regaining from health I'd give her a little bit more time. I would expect her to be weighing near 1000 at breeding. I'm not sure where the 700 lbs was coming from. I would not breed her less than 14 months unless she is very growthy for her age. I just think you risk too much. ALso is this a light weight bull, clean smooth shouldered? I would try to get her AI'd. A hereford would go great on a simmi ;-) [/QUOTE]
