[QUOTE="OldTex, post: 46717, member: 642"] A heiferette is a mature female that still retains her heifer shape. She may be a heifer that has aborted a calf and/or one that has had one calf and will not breed back. She could also be a young, normally 2 to 3 yr. old that would not settle when bred. as a yrlg. or a 2 yr old. They normally will be fed and will make excellent beef that is full of flavor. With English breeds the meat will be highly marbled, and very tender and juicy. Oldtimer and Jakes answer is a good partial description. The term is used often in the feeding areas through the Midwest and plains states.and anyone familiar with feeding cattle in those areas know what is being talked about when heiferettes are mentioned.
