[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 587541, member: 9"] We start exposing ours at 14 months. Given the "average" weight of a LH cow would be around 1,000#, they should be at around 650# or so at 14 months. At that weight, age, should probably have a small to medium sized bull service them. Say around 1250 to 1500# max. After they've had their first calf, can expose them to a larger bull. If you have one, a yearling bull 14 to 16 mos old weighing 800 to 1200# would be good choice also for servicing a smaller young heifer. [/QUOTE]
