[QUOTE="Williamsv, post: 1224614, member: 22323"] These heifers are from Beefmaster cows and a Beefmaster bull. The heifers mothers were already bred to a Beefmaster bull when I bought them. They are big heifers now. Certainly big enough and old enough to be bred by now. I have not had this happen with any Black Angus heifers that I have saved. I like to cross the Beefmasters and Black Angus. They produce some fine calves. That is why I wanted to keep these two heifers. I am really worried about them. Will soon have to decide what to do. One of them has a small set of udders and I cannot see that the other one even has any. I should have checked them sooner, but never expected this. They came from fine stock. The bull was purchased in Texas. The grower here that I bought them from has been raising Beefmasters for many years. The heifers mothers raised two fine Angus cross calves this last year. These two calves at six months old sold, the bull for over $1300 and the heifer over $1100 last December. I was so proud of them and thought I had two more heifers coming on to raise from. [/QUOTE]
