[QUOTE="talltimber, post: 1372438, member: 22236"] I have a neighbor that him and his family has been in the business many years. He says the same thing you did as far as heifer selection. If he has too many to keep he culls the top and bottom. He said he's been burned too many times by the pretty/big ones. But to read some articles out there, you would think the bigger heifers would be the one's to keep for higher fertility due to them most likely being born at the front end of the calving period? Conflicting info and opinion abounds. If this is the case, higher fertility, I wonder if it's not necessarily fertility as it is the added time in reaching puberty at breeding time? [/QUOTE]
