With a properly selected bull and average sized heifers, calfing at 24 months there shouldn't be any calving roblems. You have to keep an eye on them for malpresentation and to make sure they properly mother their calves. But that's the same if they are 24 months or 36 months at calving. Our heifers all calf at 23-24 months and we haven't pulled one of our calves in years. We keep in practice pulling them for neighbors. We also keep the cows on the small (by some standards) side. Mature cow weight between 950 to 1100 at the heaviest. Weaning weights run in the low 500 for heifers and mid to high 500s for cows. No grain, no creep.
