[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 451381, member: 1258"] If I am doing my math right that means that as a six month old calf it is under 400 pounds, to me that is tiny. You are in a drought down there though so that is a factor. I'd be looking at the size of the heifer, the bull you put her with and the heifers age. If she is small, the bull was small with a low BW and the heifer wasn't very old when you bred her I would probably give her a break unless you need a good excuse to add another one to the shipping list. If she is a big, older heifer and the calf had a BW over 70 pounds I would be looking twice I think. [/QUOTE]
