[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 762002, member: 4353"] Unless its a drought situation and you don't have the grass to give them a fair chance, I'd rather let them get on with doing their job of raising their calves. If they aren't suited for your situation its better to find out sooner rather than later. If they lose so much condition that they turn up open then you have your answer if they will work for you or not. They'll catch up alot between weaning their calves at the normal 7 months and calving again. The early weaned heifers will need special care and attention if you want them to be breeding size at the start of the next breeding season, I'd rather let the cows do their job or if they prove they cannot you'll be better off by getting rid of them.
