[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 868939, member: 8265"] I do have a couple hereford/jersey heifer calves coming along, but I started stealing from this BW heifer and realized for just the wife and I, she gave enough. Just need alittle milk to get those oatmeal raisin cookies down! But considering how young she still is, I expect next year she'll give more. BTW, I was told in her herd of origin, birthweight of calves average around 70 pounds. So she was around that even at an early age, probably because I had read about the stunting of heifers who calve too young, and so maybe I fed her too well. Sometimes neglect is good. I've also wondered if that stunting idea is backwards. Does the early calving stunt them, or did they cycle and calve early because they were smaller framed and earlier maturing to begin with?
