[QUOTE="jscunn, post: 781430, member: 1257"] No, 9203 hasnt calved yet. She is just a Febuary of 2009 calf so I didnt breed her to calve until December but she looks like she missed on AI so she is due Jan 2011 to the clean up bull. The other heifer is due in about 2 weeks to Forward. We are supposed to start calving heifers on the 27th, I am sure some will come early so figured this time next week we will start having them. This is my favorite time of the year as long as the cows cooperate, otherwise it is not so good. Like you we try to calve our heifers alittle early the first year, so we routinely calve at 22 months of age they are plenty big enough to calve at that time, got one this year that will calve at 21 months and I bet you couldnt tell me which one it was. That gives them an extra month or so to get used to feeding a baby before they have to breed back. It works well for us. Good luck I will get you a call when we get all these AI calves on the ground and you can come look, we will spend a day going thru both herds (yours and ours). [/QUOTE]
