[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 1182772, member: 539"] It's possible, but it's going to cost you a helluva lot of money in feed to keep them and their calves growing properly. We've had big, growthy heifers start cycling - and settle - at about 3 or 4 months of age, calve around a year old, and go on to raise good calves and still develop themselves. It wasn't planned, but it happened. It took a lot of feed for the heifers, and a lot of supplemental feeding of the calves to achieve that. Your best bet is to wait to breed your heifers until they are 14 to 15 months of age. [/QUOTE]
