[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 453185, member: 539"] A first calf heifer usually requires special handling, because she is still growing and developing herself. If she is in with the main herd of mature cows, she usually does not get the feed necessary to allow her to continue growing, developing, and support her calf. We did not judge a first calf heifer by her calf, unless we had the facilities to seperate the first calf heifers from the main herd, and feed them according to their needs. Does that make sense?
