[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1731274, member: 5381"] Make sure they are at the right size to began with. If they are too little frame size wise, and body score wise, you won't have much of a chance. For me its not that difficult becasue I like the heifer to be 27 months old at her first calving date. Some of them it doesn't matter what you do, they will be late on their 2nd. I love to buy the ones that other people cull because they are late. Somebody spent $1500 and a lot of time for a young cow that has had a calf and now I am buying her for $950. If she is still open in 6 months, I can get my money back as she will be bigger and in better shape for a packer cow. [/QUOTE]
