[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 442298, member: 2308"] Hope I did my math right ;-) 8) . I have been keeping records like this for about 10 years. The last 5 have been fairly detailed. So far we have been unable to keep enough heifers to really notice if there would have been a big change. But the ones we are keeping tend to be about the same size as the majority of our cow herd. Even the 'top' heifers that we have kept seem to level out to the same size as the rest of the herd. BW has been pretty consistent over the years, we usually average 92-95 lbs. We calve for approx 60 days, from about Mar 5 to April 28ish. Always seem to have a few stragglers. With the last few years and BSE we have had a few summer/fall calvers, and contrary to what the studies have shown those calves are usually as big or bigger than anything we have in the normal season. But it has only been a few head, and not enough to really compare. [/QUOTE]
