[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14883"] We couldn't hope for any better quality calves. The first calf is generally a little smaller but we breed them to bulls that throw calves that way. From the second calf on they are just like all the others from the mature cows. Granted some of the heifers that calf at two take a little longer to get their full growth, but end up the same as all the others. dunmovin farms > I've only been at this a few > years, but I haven't notice much > difference between how my girls > finish out when I compare the ones > that were bred early, under 18 > mths with my other cows.
