[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 662181, member: 968"] As said previously, if the sire is decent and you bred for improvement, a first calf heifer's calf should be your best genetics. You need to adjust WW's by age of calf (adjust to 205 days) and by age of dam. Each breed association has adjustment figures. Even if your cattle aren't purebred, you can just pick a breed close to what you have & use their adjustments. [/QUOTE]
