[QUOTE="dun, post: 20155, member: 34"] I've never cared for the idea of calving heifers earlier then the rest. In order to take advantage of the higher quality pasture that the young girls need we would have to calve the cows after the pasture has really started coming on, plus the weather is terrible the beginning of February. That puts the cows calves younger at weaning time. We've never had the problem of heifers breeding back, frequently they're among the first to calve the folowing year. That's the reason we've done it this way in the past. By coincidence, I just read an article I believe in Beef, or maybe Drovers that questioned the traditional calving heifers early reasoning. dun [/QUOTE]
