[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 120386, member: 13"] That depends on the genetics of the heifers and the cows. If you've been using good bulls, you would expect your heifers to have superior genetics to the older cows. The calves from heifers will probably have lighter weaning weights because a two year old won't milk to her full potential. That's why we use adjusted 205 day weights. It allows us to compare cows of all ages with each other. [/QUOTE]
