[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1657731, member: 24027"] What [USER=24816]@Ky hills[/USER] said. Except my heifers are pelvic measured at 11 months when they get their BANGS. Selection of which heifers to retain is based on lineage: dams have a stellar health history, great mamas, early calvers, super docile, easy keepers, consistently raise the top calves. And whether I actually like the heifer. As a general rule, pelvic measurement under 150 is out and a bad attitude won't even get her in the finalist. They're turned out with a high calving ease (Angus) bull at 15 months, so should calve when they're 24+ months. Average weight of their calves is 70-75 lbs. My heifers are fed brome bales, sometimes alfalfa, and I supplement with only just a couple pounds of 20% cubes but they do have a 30% protein tub and minerals. Average BCS 6 on my heifers. [/QUOTE]
