Does anyone wait past 15 months to breed heifers?

[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 608651, member: 13"] Interesting about the five calves to pay for a cow. I've read that the heifers that calve as two year olds are generally the most profitable. We breed in April and May for January and February calves. That usually means we'll breed them at 15 months, but if we have an odd heifer that was born in March, we'll breed her, too. This year we haven't bred anything for fall calving. So last year's Sept-born heifers will be about 18 months old when they're bred. We are moving to one calving season.....again. :lol: [/QUOTE]
