do you breed heifers based on weight or age?

[QUOTE="TR, post: 93269, member: 22"] So, you lost what, 12-18 months of production on that heifer (have no idea what the dry period is for a dairy cow) because you waited to breed her and have her calve as a 3 1/2 year old? Seems to me like dairy farmers would be just as inclined as beef breeders to breed to calve at around 24 mos to get the milk production going and gain the subsequent income from it. [/QUOTE]
