[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1601139, member: 968"] If you calve your heifers out at 2 years old and re-breed them to calve at 3, they are really working. They are still cutting teeth, growing, milking and rebreeding. By fall, even if they were in great condition when they calved at 2 yrs old, they are usually drawn down (pregnant & nursing). So, in my herd, and evidently in most herds according to what I read, my 3 yr olds are my most stressed animals. I always keep the coming 2 & 3 yrs olds together during the winter and also keep separated from mature cows after they calve until all go out on grass. I generally don't have as much trouble getting the 2 yr olds re-bred as I do with the 3 yr olds. [/QUOTE]
