[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 981453, member: 968"] I breed by the calendar. In other words - I have a 60 day breeding season. It may vary by a week or so from year to year, but pretty much I start breeding on a certain date. Any heifer that was born at the beginning of our season, will be around 15 months - end of calving will be closer to 13 months. If the 13 month old was too small - well, she would not still be in my herd. I can't remember having to cull one because she wouldn't be big enough. Granted, if the 13 month old didn't settle right away, she may be close to 24 months old when she calves. [/QUOTE]
