[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 217077, member: 539"] Hi smallrancher, welcome to the boards! Although short, squatty heifers are not really desirable as breeding animals, when to breed is dependent on the weight of the heifer, not her height. You would want her to weigh about 65% of her mature weight before you breed her. So, assuming she will weigh around 1100 pounds as a 2-3 year old, you would want her to weigh around 715 pounds at breeding. I hope this helps. Just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
