[QUOTE="cmf1, post: 662118, member: 6681"] The reason I even seriously pondered the question is because I have a first heifer that I was waiting on to calve with high expactations. She is a first heifer. Her calf is a first heifer. This was by far the smallest calf of the season, 45-50lbs.(Same bull on rest of herd 65-75 lbs.) Momma was exceptionally fit full term. Momma is maintaining very well and milking well after 2 1/2 weeks. Baby is growing well and looks like good bones. Momma passed on one of my favorite things about her to the calf: her haircoat shines like a new penny all year round. All in all I'm happy with both, I'm just curious about the maturing of the heifer calf because of what I've heard some say about first time heifers. I guess I'll have to wait about 6-7 months to ponder it again. Photos don't seem to be uploadable right now so I'll post one later. [/QUOTE]
