[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 160166, member: 852"] Sometimes an example is best. Take a look at this calf, Bill... [img]http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-11/897828/telcn311jan.jpg[/img] (I know, I know, they're holsteins, LOL...) The cow on the right weighs about 1400-1500lbs, perhaps a little more. The heifer calf on the left is one that cow raised for me last spring - DOB 1/20/05. So she's not even a yearling in this picture. Sure she's standing in the foreground a little, but not that much. She's at least 900lbs, might be 1000. Big enough to breed? you bet. I had her checked, she's cycling, everything's good to go, and she's running with a bull right now. So...in my book, that "breed to calve at two" rule doesn't always apply. Not when the heifer is this big! [/QUOTE]
