[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 451087, member: 2308"] In our herd that heifer would be on the edge of being culled. From past experience I have learned that heifers that do not raise a calf that had an ADG of at least 1.8 lb/day usually do not improve enough in the following year to stay in the herd. But, I will give a little leeway to a heifer that had twins, or was sick, or if her calf was sick enough at some point that it may have affected the growth. [/QUOTE]
