[QUOTE="Nite Hawk, post: 1043629, member: 18682"] The general rule of thumb is [b]at least [/b]14 months old ( depending on breed-Jersy for example breed young and are mature young) or better yet 3/4 of mature body size. Feed them well so they continue to grow, and then slack off on heavy feed about 3 months before calving, so that heavy feed doesn't cause the calf to grow too big, as the third trimester is usually when the calf gets the most growth..
