We are retaining a lot of heifers and flipping the cow herd. We are using simi angus bulls so there is plenty of growth in the genetics. Each year we seem to have a couple heifers - - perhaps 10 to 15% - - that don't raise a nice calf and repeat that performance as 3 yr olds. They breed back right away but I am not impressed.
Is this a pretty typical percentage for poor milk production?
Any reason not to cut them after the first calf?
