[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 747902, member: 968"] [color=#8000FF]usc - I'm confused. Not sure what you are saying.[/color] Are you saying your neighbor breeds his heifers when they reach 800-900#? that would "normally" be at 12-15 months of age (or older for some Angus) (I can't imagine it's any younger than that). If he breeds them at that weight/age, they will be calving somewhere around 2 years of age - which - is what we are all saying that we do. You said "he does not have to wait two years?? what? And, you made the comment that his bull has low BW, WW & YW and they are great EPD's. Well, low BW is great, low WW &/or low YW is NOT so great - in most managements. If he is breeding to low YW bulls, he is not getting his heifers to 800-900# at yearling age (I would have to "ASSUME") So, am I missing something in the translation???? I must be confused. What are you trying to say? [/QUOTE]
