[QUOTE="dun, post: 1289018, member: 34"] Since after weaning our heifers are just on pasture with the bred cows we keep the ones that we are interested in (the others go to the salebarn as feeders) and do a RTS and pelvic at spring woekup when they are around 12-13 months old. We haven;t had one not make the pelvic size cut in a lot of years. It's like the elephant repelent, may not be really needed but ti's darn cheap insurance in case something crops up. We like heifers to have 70-80 lb calves, we haven;t used a really extremely low BW bull in more then 10 years. Our minimum pelvic adjusted to yearling is 161, most run in the 168-174 range. Wednesday is selection day for the heifers from this year. Those that don;t make the cut will be at the salebarn on thursday along with the steers. [/QUOTE]
