[QUOTE="Williamsv, post: 1226517, member: 22323"] Compare a cow bred at 14 months and one at 18 or older five years down the road, and note the difference in size of the two. Heifers need to fully mature themselves,before they are bred. Early breeding stunts the heifer. Discussed this with a friend yesterday who bought six heifers bred at 14 months. One heifer and her calf died and another lost her calf. He, too said no more breeding heifers at 14 months. Each person has their own ideas. I, too thought breeding at 14 months would bring money in faster, but it did not help the cows. I try to consider what will be best for them in the long run. [/QUOTE]
