[QUOTE="BC Acres, post: 1226413, member: 22366"] I would never try to breed her before a year. I was planning on putting the bull in during June/July. That would make her 13-14 months. My brother and I work together with cattle. He has all the EPDs at his place. We bought it from a pretty well respected breeder in this area. It was made known that we wanted a bull that would be used on heifers. Ideally I would like to make her a spring calver since our fall herd is pretty maxed out based on the pasture available. Our general rule is to wait until 15 months of age, but when the Angus ranch owner says they do it all the time, it makes me question that thinking. That is why I'm trying to see what some of you guys think about it. [/QUOTE]
