[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1120056, member: 18809"] I am a little late on this one, but wanted to add that we have a 2/25/13 born half blood Simmental heifer (WAGR Target x SAV Density angus cow) that weighed 1145 on 3/15/14. We went ahead and AI'd her on 3/22 to KHLER Make It Rain, a calving ease Simmental bull. So, at 13 months old she was bred, and will calve at 23 months (if she stuck). She is on 8 pounds of creep feed daily, and grass hay (until the grass comes in). She is just a big heifer, thus why we bred early. I think with your management (from previous posts), you will be fine breeding her now. She is plenty big enough. Not all breeds are equal, and not all cattle within a breed are the same. That is why it is best when breeding heifers you look at frame size and weight more than actual age. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
