neighbors bull got in with my yrling heifers last thursday, pop said ahhh i didnt see him breed anything, i said im sure he didnt visit and go back home( he did go back) they get a shot anyway, so yesterday bull is back, i see him breedn my heifer, deffinetly a shot for them all in 2 weeks. great neighbor so im not crazy mad, few shots all is good.
Around here early breeedn would just throw me all out of whack, I really dont believe that the heifer calving at 20 months really reaches her potential, always behind. I dont think the calf will reach its potential, hard enough on a heifer anyway, maybe sacraficing 150lb for the 3 months is worth it to some, dont know,
JMO no articles to back it up, i have seen the early bred heifers just stay behind, it does happen that they are bred early.
