[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1657763, member: 16453"] I wean at the end of summer. Their weights will be 300kg plus. They go up the back in a pretty ordinary winter paddock with a lot of scrub but some open grass areas. They get one feed a day of a 14% protein grain mix for a roll call and enough to keep them gaining at about .75kg/day. I synchronise them in spring (late September AI) to calve at 24 months of age. I put patches on them leading up to the 3 wks post AI and try and catch any I may have missed and the out with the bull for the next cycle. This lot of 10 heifers I inseminated 9 of them, one non responder. I got 6 of the 9 on the first AI and picked up another two on the 2nd cycle. The remaining two I saw with the bull for one cycle and haven't seen them with him since. I'll test those two in a couple of weeks. I'm pretty happy with those results. Ken [/QUOTE]
