[QUOTE="Jessica06, post: 1350847, member: 5612"] We keep our heifers separate from the cows until the bull is taken off after their second breeding season. So any given year we have open/bred heifers, heifer pairs, and cows. We don't have a set in stone protocol that we use with any particular group, but generally we like to take better care of our heifers, and keeping them separate is the only way to do that. Once they are bred for their second calf we figure they're far enough along development-wise to fend for themselves and work for a living. [/QUOTE]
